Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man in black holding a lute stands with a young girl in a dark dress in an interior

Detailed Description

A full-length image shows a man and a young girl in a dimly lit interior room. The man, positioned on the left, is dressed in black attire, including a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled white collar, and a dark cloak draped over his left shoulder. He has a light complexion, a small mustache, and dark hair. He holds a light brown, ribbed lute vertically in his left hand, resting its base on a dark table. His right hand is extended slightly forward. He wears black breeches and stockings, with black shoes. His gaze is directed slightly to the right of the viewer. To the right of the man stands a young girl, appearing much smaller. She wears a dark, patterned dress with green accents, a white ruffled collar, and white cuffs. Her light brown hair is pulled back, and she has a pale complexion. She holds a small, white, fluffy object in her left hand. Her expression is neutral, and she looks directly forward. The background is a muted gray wall with architectural details on the right, including a decorative molding above a doorway. A dark wooden chair is visible behind the man. The floor is a light brown and white patterned tile. Another dark stringed instrument, possibly a viol, lies on the floor in the lower left corner. Lighting from the left casts soft shadows.
