Lot 393: 17th Century Dutch School - The Flute Player

Oil on canvas. This work entitled "The Flute Player" belongs to the Dutch School of the 17th century. It presents an intimate and expressive composition that combines the representation of the musician with the technical virtuosity characteristic of Dutch Golden Age painting. The male figure, located against a dark background that enhances his presence, is portrayed playing a flute with concentration and serenity. Dressed in a garment of ochre tones with red details, the musician wears a wide black hat that projects subtle shadows on his face, reinforcing the dramatic effect of chiaroscuro.
