Caption

The happy Violinist, 1624. The lighting is one of the elements that gives this composition its force, while another is the treatment of the figure, whose happy mood is conveyed in the radiant gaze that attracts the viewer’s attention. The painter has paid great attention to every detail in this anonymous figure, with his bright red nose and cheeks and red fingers that delicately raise the glass. The musician is dressed in theatrical dress and wears a plumed hat.
