LUTE PLAYER

Description The young player, part of a group that includes four other players and a dancer, is depicted sitting cross-legged on a thin square base, in the act of playing a lute. The left hand holds the keyboard, the right holds a long pick, and the forearm rests on the instrument. The lute is depicted in good detail: elbowed handle with three-pointed headstock, raised bridge, other engraved and black-painted details such as the resonance holes, shaped as an elongated “ЄЭ”, the frets and strings.
