The Lute Player is a 1630 oil by Pieter Codde, a dutch_golden_age work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a group of people in a room. There are four people, and they are all wearing old-fashioned clothes. One person is sitting down and playing a lute, which is a stringed instrument. The other three people are standing up and looking at the person playing the lute. The room is not very fancy, but it has a table with a white tablecloth and some objects on it. The people are all looking at each other, and they seem to be enjoying the music. The painting is done in a style that makes the people and objects look very realistic.
