Seated Man Playing a Lute
An engraving shows a seated man in a richly detailed, ruffled costume playing a lute, his head turned toward the viewer. A classical column stands at left against a plain wall, and a draped cloth fills the background. Fine parallel hatching models the fabric and figure, with French verse lines printed below.
