I was about to say the same thing.A Certainly not a theorbo, and the
neckA looks like it had a serious alignment problem with the body of
the lute....

Well - he's not playing a theorbo - and the theorbo is not trying to
be a guitar!!! A These Art Historians really need to be educated!
At a guess I would say it is meant to be an archlute but however
good the artist may be a painting satin he seems to have got in a
twist with the peg boxes!!

Subject: [LUTE] Double headed lute pic?
I came across this image recently - possibly a chap playing a
double-headed lute. So (?) Dutch or English? A Perhaps it's from a
well-known painting? I only had a camera phone and it was shot at an
angle to avoid the flash glaring against the glass. I've cropped the
writing underneath- but you can't see it clearly anyway - it says
something like 'micris' with some kind of diacritical twiddle over
the letter c (if it is a c).
