About this work

A woman in a long, pale draped gown sits hunched on the curve of a large golden sphere, bending over a lyre with a white blindfold tied over her eyes. The lyre is strung with a single remaining string, and the muted blue-grey sky behind her contrasts with the warm glow of the globe. This is George Frederic Watts's painting Hope, dated 1886, held by the National Gallery.
