DescriptionPainting by an unknown artist showing a scene with a blindfolded man in the center of a room, his arm outstretched in an attempt to touch someone or something near him. People to the right are standing on a bench and crouched on the floor. To the left, someone has fallen over a chair on top of a dog. There is a child pulling on the blindfolded man's coattails. There is an older woman and two children in the background by the stairs and another woman hiding behind a curtain. The room looks like a tavern and is in disarray.
