About the piece
Painted in 1622 by Dirck van Baburen, this masterpiece is a quintessential example of the Utrecht Caravaggisti style. The scene depicts a young musician, a client, and the namesake procuress, brought to life through striking contrasts of light and shadow and a rich, earthy palette. The work is famous for its influence on later masters, including Vermeer.
