Drie musicerende duivels 1617 - 1681

"Drie musicerende duivels" (Three Musical Devils) is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Cornelis Saftleven between 1617 and 1681. The artwork depicts three devilish figures playing instruments: a bird-like creature with a long neck playing a lute, a figure with a wolf-like head striking a dulcimer, and another figure holding a lute and looking up at a sheet of music. This drawing is considered a study of the artist's skill in depicting movement and anatomical detail. The piece's playful nature suggests that it was intended for the artist's own entertainment and for exploring the possibilities of artistic expression.
