The body of the instrument, under the right elbow of the player looks like one of those large Italian citterns to me.
The other interesting thing about this picture is that both of the plucked string players have their instruments on the table. It looks just like what Chris Morrongiello was talking about last Summer in Cleveland when he gave his lecture on using a table to make the lute sound louder.
