About the piece
Painted in 1620 by Dirck van Baburen, this work is a quintessential example of the Utrecht Caravaggisti style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow. The young flautist is depicted with earthy realism, his vibrant yellow and black attire standing out against a dark, atmospheric background as he pauses over his musical score.
