A Female Guitar Player and a Flute Player
1750
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
A Female Guitar Player and a Flute Player is a 1750 by Unknown, depicting Lute, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows two women indoors. One sits on a chair, playing a lute while holding sheet music. The other stands, holding a flute to her lips. Both wear long, flowing dresses with ruffled collars. The background is dark and plain, keeping focus on the women and their instruments. The lute player’s fingers rest lightly on the strings, suggesting she’s mid-song. The way the light hits their faces makes them stand out against the shadowy backdrop.
