About the piece
Painted in 1814, John Lewis Krimmel’s 'Blind Man's Buff' captures a moment of boisterous joy within a Federal-era American home. The detailed composition showcases a variety of figures in motion—from the blindfolded girl at the center to children hiding in cupboards—all set against a rich backdrop of period kitchenware and furniture.
