Hi Bruno, The painting is a detail from a Portrait of a musician with lute (c. 1685) by Anton Domenico Gabbiani (1652-1726). The original is in the Galleria della Accademia, Florence, on loan from the Educandato della Santissima Annunziata al Poggio imperiale.

Harmonia Mundi changed the album front cover... I was curious about the instrument and the music that the lutenist is pointing to. -- References 1.
