About this work

Begging musicians, a 1631 painting by Jan van der Venne held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum, shows an elderly man with a lute and a boy in a yellow coat and blue cap standing beside a brick wall. The man gazes upward with a weathered face while the boy looks up at him, holding a small object, and the dim, warm interior light emphasizes their worn clothing.
