Maybe the painter was messing with us Or he originally did two identical 
paintings only one of them had some errors we were supposed to spot. And the 
"correct" painting is hidden in an attic in Dusseldorf...Yeah that's it!

 Anyhow, Roman, You have a really cool picture on your video site of a

2007-04-01 Thread David Van Edwards
I think Dale's right, it IS a prop, but still interesting as an 
instrument, that is it probably is not a fake in the Franciolini 
sense. Though I do now agree that, given the fret spacings, we 
probably can't be certain the the bridge spacings show a double top 
course and 12 courses rather than singel top and second and 13 
courses. The red basses remain as evidence though.

The red color could be from loaded gut strings (mercury or whatever) as can 
also be seen on the famous mouton painting, although antoine pesne is already 
late baroque, so perhaps wound strings are possible too. The right hand 
suggest a low string tension. Nice to see that this hand position is also 
used for these late baroque lutes.
Interesting painting! Not just the lute, the silk dress is also painted very 
nice.

Dear List,
I think on the painting there is a real lute played by the beautiful lady. I 
think the reason for the strange stringing is that the sattle and the 
distance between the strings was changed to fit the smaller fingers of a 
young lady.
do you think the red color of the bass strings is because they are wound 
with copper?
I counted 13 frets -  not unusual.

regards from austria,
peter

As for accuracy, I think there are a couple too many frets for reality.Which
makes the whole lute thing look more like a prop. She sure is cute. Too bad,
she's probably dead by now.

I like her right hand. It looks very relaxed. The pinky is outside
the bridge and I bet she would have slid the whole hand gracefully
upwards when she needed to reach the lowest sounding courses, keeping
the little finger outside and parallel to the bridge the whole time.
I'm sure she could play and remain pretty and dignified alla Mary
