Young Man with a Flute and Song Sheet

Oil on canvas (relined). 38.5 x 31.5 cm.

The flute and sheet music suggest that this young man in a dark blue house coat and open white shirt is a musician or composer. He is sitting in a sumptuously furnished interior with a purple curtain, a globe and an oriental carpet. The window offers a view of a southern landscape with an obelisk and curving edifice decorated with statues. This backdrop suggests that the pensive-looking young man could be a musician on a study trip in Italy.
