Two Street Players and a Girl

Sebald Beham

National Gallery of Art

The image displays three individuals playing wind instruments. The characters are standing closely together in a side profile with slight overlap, focusing on playing their instruments. Each person's full body is visible. The first person on the left wears a pointed hat with a wide brim, a cloak with a belted waist, and trousers. The middle person is adorned with a wreath-like headpiece and a tunic with a patterned hem, playing the bagpipes. The third person on the right wears a simple cap and a flowing garment with linear detailing. The background features a simple, cross-hatched design, without additional scenery. A small "I. S. P." is printed in the top-right corner of the image.
