Guillaume Charlier's The Blind Group (1908) depicts a child leading four blind people. It currently stands in front of Tournai Cathedral.

During a trip through Morocco, Guillaume Charlier (1854-1925) witnessed a moving scene in Tangier. Among groups of beggars, he saw four blind Arabs who, leaning on each other, obediently followed a young boy in rags.
The sculptor quickly made sketches of this poignant spectacle, which he could later use as a source of inspiration.
The result from 1908 stands here, in front of the former post office, on Rue des Chapeliers.
