About the piece

Attributed to the Italian master Evaristo Baschenis, this 1650 painting is a hallmark of the musical still life genre. The composition meticulously balances the warm wood tones of lutes and a violin against a deep, moody background and an ornate red curtain, showcasing a sophisticated play of light and shadow characteristic of the period.
