The blind girl is an imagined scene of modern Victorian life, but it is also a painting about the beauty of nature. A young homeless blind woman, travelling from place to place wit h her sister, has stopped to rest by the roadside. She cannot see the sunlit landscape or the Small Tortoiseshell butterfly which has landed on her shawl, but she experiences the natural world through her other senses.
