I can't say whether it looks like a 5-course instrument -- the image is
too small for me to make out the pegs. But it looks well enough like a
baroque guitar to me. OTOH, I can't say anything about the gentleman's
garb. Is it baroque, or earlier? I just don't know enough about
costume of the period... I can't say why but it seems a little off to
me.

Subject: [VIHUELA] Early guitar image
Dear List,
Does this look like a 5-course baroque guitar to you? I'm wondering
whether to use this as an illustration of an "early guitar" and perhaps
be even more specific (5-course?), but I wanted to see what list
members think.
I need to use a public domain image.
Here's the link:

Many thanks,
