Duet

About this work

This painting shows a man and a woman sitting at a table. The man is playing a lute, and the woman is playing a recorder. They are both wearing old-fashioned clothes. There is a jug on the table and a barrel on the floor. The room is dark, with only a little light coming in. The painting has a lot of detail, especially in the clothes and the instruments. The man's hat and the woman's headscarf are very intricate. The lute and the recorder look like they are being played carefully. This painting is by David Teniers the Younger.
