About the piece
This exquisite 1678 oil on panel by Eglon van der Neer captures a moment of quiet focus. A lady, dressed in a lustrous satin gown and adorned with pearls, is shown tuning a theorbo, a large member of the lute family. The masterful play of light on her dress and the dark, atmospheric background exemplify the sophisticated Dutch Golden Age style, making it a timeless addition to a refined interior.
