ORIGINAL DRAWING OF INSTRUMENTALISTS

man and child with lute and violin playing outdoors.

European, 19th century. Drawing size: 21cm h x 16.5cm w (8.5" w x 6.5" w). Total size in mat: 36cm h x 31cm w (14.25" h x 12.25" w). Very good condition. Some very light and minor stains to background sky. Evidence of former mounting on verso.
An anonymous drawing of a man and young child walking outdoors, wearing nearly identical dress and playing stringed instruments. The man holds a large violin and strangely positions its bow; the child more properly holds a cittern. The limited and muted color palette suits the man's rather melancholic expression.
