About the piece
This 1856 oil painting by Henri Leys captures a zampogna player and his wife with remarkable dignity and detail. The work showcases the artist's skill in rendering the rich textures of traditional costumes—from the feathered hat and heavy cloak to the intricate wood of the instrument—set against a muted, textured background that emphasizes the figures' presence.
