A Blind Musician - Granada

1914

James Craig Annan

Associated Names

James Craig Annan

Artist, British, 1864 - 1946

The image displays an elderly man playing a guitar. He is standing, slightly hunched over, focusing on strumming the guitar with his right hand. The man has deep lines on his face, a prominent nose, visible cheekbones, and white, sparse hair under a wide-brimmed hat. He is dressed in a dark long coat, a light-colored shirt and trousers, and sturdy shoes. The man holds an acoustic guitar, with his coat draping over one shoulder. The background shows a rough-textured stone wall, casting a shadow of the man and guitar onto it.
