Depiction or Location: A finely painted antique oil on copper, executed in the manner of Dutch Golden Age master Gerrit Dou. This beautifully detailed scene shows a musician with a background interior — a classic Dou composition recreated with real skill.

Is the artwork Framed or Mounted: Framed, as shown (frame supplied free of charge) Frame: Presented in a deep-profile 19th-century gilt gesso frame with classical moulding and decorative corner motifs.
