Portrait of the lute player Giulio Mascheroni is a 1597 oil by Annibale Carracci, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Lute, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting depicts a man sitting at a table, holding a lute. He is dressed in dark attire, with a white collar and cuffs visible under his sleeves. The man's facial expression is neutral, and he appears to be looking directly at the viewer. The man's right hand is positioned on the neck of the lute, while his left hand is placed on the body of the instrument. The lute itself is a prominent feature of the painting, with intricate details and patterns visible on its surface. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the man lost in thought as he holds the lute.
