German 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men, one playing a kettledrum and the other playing a trumpet-like wind instrument. The man playing the kettledrum wears a hat with a feather, a beard, a shirt with puffed sleeves, knee-length puffed pants, stockings, and shoes with bows. The man playing the wind instrument leans against a column and wears a similar hat, a garment with buttons, gathered pants, and stockings. Both men focus on playing their instruments. The background is plain with a border and text below the image.
