The Musicians

Lucas van Leyden

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures sitting closely together. The person on the left is playing a stringed instrument similar to a lute, while the person on the right is playing a bowed string instrument. Both individuals have distinct facial features and are dressed in garments with hoods. The background includes sparse trees, a wooden fence, rocky ground, and scattered objects. The date "1524" is visible in the upper right corner.
