Description: | 'The Blind Girl'. 3/4 profile portrait of a female, facing left, in a long dark dress. Her eyes are closed, with her hand resting on table, that has a vase with pink flowers on it. Unglazed.
"The restriction of the palette to generally dark tones excepting the strong pink of the flowers serves to highlight the pathos of the girl unable to see. Brough (1872-1905) was a native of Invergordon, trained in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Paris, returning to Aberdeen in 1904. A precocious talent he painted figure subjects, portraits and occasionally landscapes, quickly winning recognition. He was killed in a train crash."
