Flötenspieler auf einem Fass sitzend 1689

"Flötenspieler auf einem Fass sitzend" (Flute Player Sitting on a Barrel), a watercolor by Cornelis Dusart, depicts a young man seated on a barrel, playing a flute. This work, created in 1689, showcases the artist's signature style of depicting everyday scenes of common people, a popular genre in Dutch art at the time. Dusart's detailed brushstrokes and realistic portrayal of the figure's clothing, posture, and the rustic barrel create a sense of intimacy and capture the quiet moment of musical enjoyment. The artwork, now housed in the Städel Museum, highlights the Dutch master's talent for capturing the charm of ordinary life.
