The painting measures 35.5 by 45.5 inches and is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London.

The artwork portrays an itinerant musician, a blind fiddler, playing his instrument in a humble cottage surrounded by an attentive audience of various ages and social backgrounds. The scene is rich in detail and character, reflecting Wilkie's keen observation of rural life and his ability to capture the nuances of human expression and interaction. The composition is carefully constructed, with the figures arranged in a semicircle around the fiddler, creating a sense of intimacy and engagement with the viewer.

Wilkie's use of lighting in "The Blind Fiddler" is particularly noteworthy, as it highlights the central figure and his violin, drawing the viewer's eye to the emotional core of the painting. The work is celebrated for its portrayal of music's power to bring people together, transcending social and physical barriers.

"The Blind Fiddler" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1806, where it received critical acclaim and helped establish Wilkie's reputation as a leading genre painter of his time. The painting's popularity is attributed to its relatable subject matter and Wilkie's skillful execution, which resonated with both the art establishment and the general public.
