Musicerend paar aan tafel after 1675

This 17th-century drawing, titled "Musicerend paar aan tafel", depicts a couple engaged in musical entertainment. The woman, dressed in a white gown, plays a stringed instrument, possibly a lute, while a man, wearing a dark suit, sits at a table and appears to be reading sheet music. The composition suggests a moment of intimacy and shared enjoyment, typical of genre scenes common in Dutch art. The anonymous artist's masterful use of lines creates a sense of depth and realism, contributing to the overall sense of quiet domesticity. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
