Description: | Bloemaert was one of the first Dutch artists to paint genre scenes with a single, lively, half-length figure holding a musical instrument (or some other object). Here a young boy is seen with a flute. Having paused in his playing, he turns to the viewer and is laughing. He is wearing a red sash over a yellow coat with slashed sleeves and a black hat with an ostrich feather, which gives the figure an almost opulent air. | Subjects: | everyday life (flute-player) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bloemaert, Abraham (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1566-1651) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Brugghen, Hendrick ter (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1588-1629) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8586... | Go to resource |
