Sitting Violinist

An old man, seen from the front, sits in a wood-paneled interior on a wooden bench; he wears a crushed tall hat and plays the violin; he is dressed in a short jacket, waistcoat and breeches; the stockings and shoes have a greenish-grey tone; an earthenware pitcher stands on the cupboard behind him; the picture is rather a speedy sketch in the style of Early Netherlandish masters than a finished work of art.
