About the piece
Painted in 1621 by Abraham Bloemaert, this masterwork exemplifies the Utrecht Caravaggisti style with its bold use of chiaroscuro. The young flutist, adorned in a flamboyant feathered hat and a bright yellow doublet with blue accents, gazes upward as if caught in a moment of inspiration or contemplation.
