"The Sense of Sight" is an oil painting by Annie Louise Swynnerton (1844–1933), a pioneering British artist known for her role in advocating for women's rights and her influence in the suffragette movement. Swynnerton's work is characterized by her bold use of color and light, and "The Sense of Sight" is no exception. This painting is particularly notable for its allegorical representation of the titular sense, one of the five human senses, which has been a recurring theme in the history of art.

Completed in 1895, "The Sense of Sight" was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, reflecting Swynnerton's growing recognition as a significant artist of her time. In the painting, Swynnerton depicts a young woman holding a mirror, a common symbol of sight and self-awareness. The subject's gaze is not directed at her own reflection but outward, suggesting a contemplation that goes beyond the physical act of seeing. The use of light and shadow in the composition, along with the thoughtful expression of the figure, underscores the artist's interest in the interplay between the inner and outer worlds of perception.

Annie Louise Swynnerton was a trailblazer in the art world, becoming the first woman to be elected as an Associate Member of the Royal Academy since its foundation in 1768. "The Sense of Sight" is emblematic of her artistic achievements and her dedication to exploring profound themes through her work. The painting is held in high esteem for its aesthetic qualities and as an important piece within Swynnerton's oeuvre, contributing to the understanding of the role of women artists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Today, "The Sense of Sight" is considered an important work within the canon of British art, and it continues to be studied for its technical mastery and thematic depth. It remains a testament to Swynnerton's skill as a painter and her ability to convey complex ideas through the medium of oil on canvas.
