Man Playing a Jew's Harp
by BABUREN, Dirck van, Oil on canvas, 65 x 53 cm
The representation of popular music, played mainly in the street and featuring instruments which were typical of this type of music, appeared in Rome in the 1620s emerging from Flemish and French painting. The most important examples of this genre include the very early Man Playing a Jew’s Harp by Baburen.
