After looking at the painting using an image viewer, I'm just hoping the poor
guy didn't have to play about the 6th fret very much!
I didn't know they only put 6 frets on renaissance lutes. I believe Dowland

Howard,
I don't want to sound pretentious, but, as you may be well aware, yours
truly knows a few things about lutes and painting. Therefore you can
reasonably trust my opinions as to which artist/painting is "trustworthy" as
iconography, and you can reasonably expect greater artists like Cranach

that
And regarding the original picture I wonder at which time it was painted.
The lute model looks interesting ...
Best wishes
Thomas
