Probably it's similar to the lute seen on Hendrik Martensz Sorgh
(1611 -1670) "The lute player" in Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. You can see it on
David van Edwards site too http://www.vanedwards.co.uk/history3.htm fig.10.

Thank you, Morgan, this is marvelous. Never mind the explanation of the
double headed lute, but I've never before heard someone explain the art
of painting in such a physical way.
