About the piece
Attributed to Flemish master Theodoor Rombouts, this painting is a striking example of the Caravaggesque style. The artist uses dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight the rich textures of the musician's feathered cap and the intricate details of the lute, while the inclusion of the open book and tankard adds a narrative, still-life depth to the composition.
