The Bagpipe Must Be Filled

Workshop of Hendrick Goltzius, after Karel van Mander I

National Gallery of Art

The image features three figures seated at a table. They are positioned closely together. The person on the right is playing a bagpipe, the middle person has their hands resting on their lap, and the person on the left is holding a jug. The figures have distinct facial features with pronounced noses and expressive mouths. They all wear hats that cover their hair. The clothing is loose and textured, typical of peasant attire, with long sleeves and tunics. A dog is lying in the foreground. In the background, there is a small window with a figure looking out, trees, and a building resembling a church. Details on the table include a knife and a napkin or cloth.
