Drawing, pen and black ink, grey wash, 15 x 16,8 cm, laid paper, later ms. note "V. Goetz" (large dampstain at left side, min. foxing).
Intricate sheet with hurdy-gurdy player, a women and young girl. The latter two figures are drawn with less detail. Wandering musicians and bohemians had become a popular genre by the dawn of the seventeenth century, making an appearance in the art of Callot, Nicolaes Maes, and Rembrandt.
