The Blind Milton is a 1817 ink by Thomas Uwins, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman sits in a window seat, dressed in a dark jacket and a pink skirt. She holds a piece of paper and looks off to the side. A vase of flowers sits on the table beside her, and a potted plant is on the floor. The room has stone walls, a fireplace, and a curtain in the background. The painting uses soft colors and loose brushstrokes to show her quiet moment. The artist focused on her thoughtful expression and the simple details around her. Next, look up Uwins, Thomas to see more of his work.
