Drie musicerende figuren 1655 - 1700

"Drie musicerende figuren" (Three Musicians) is an etching created by Dutch artist Jan van Somer sometime between 1655 and 1700. The artwork depicts three figures, two women and a man, engaged in music-making. The woman on the left appears to be reading sheet music, while the woman on the right plays a lute and the man plays a violin. Van Somer captures the lively spirit of Baroque music with the dynamic positioning of the figures. The etching's detailed rendering of the figures' clothing and the musical instruments creates a sense of realism, making it a compelling example of Dutch art from this period.
