Spinet player in an interior with paintings is a 1670 oil by Johann Heinrich Schönfeld, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
The painting depicts a woman playing a spinet in a room filled with paintings. The woman is dressed in a yellow gown and has her back to the viewer. She is seated at the spinet, which is placed in front of a large painting on the wall. The room is decorated with several other paintings, and there are two red chairs in the corner. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes light and shadow, with the woman and the spinet being the main sources of light in the room. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The painting is a great example of the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in a painting.
Johann Heinrich Schönfeld (1609–1684) was an artist, born in Biberach an der Riß.
