About the Item

Dutch School Late 18th century Oil on panel 6 1/4 inches x 5 1/2 inches (15.9 x 14 cm) Framed: 14 x 12 inches (35.5 x 30.5 cm) Signed lower right This delightful study of a lute player, perhaps a preparation painting for a larger work, falls within a popular genre of Dutch painting. Jan Vermeer, Judith Leyster, and Gerrit ter Borch are just a few noted Dutch golden age painters who painted a subject playing the lute. Images of musicians served a strong iconic role in Dutch genre painting as they symbolized the energy and vitality of public life. In our painting, an attentive female listener looks up to our musician, who in turn seems enthralled by his solo audience. Painted with vigorous and rhythmic brush strokes, the image shows the lute player captured while strumming his instrument. Painted in reds, bronzes, and oranges, the work exudes a welcoming warm glow. A soft light touches the musician’s cheeks, as if to symbolize the ardor for his music and for its intended recipient. Though signed at the bottom right, the identity of the artist has not yet been established.
