Note: Led by a young woman, a group of people are playing music in a room. She is reading the music from the sheet, singing and beating time. The two men are accompanying her on their instruments - the young man on the harp and the older man on a viola da gamba. An older woman is reading over the girl's shoulder, listening attentively with her hand on her chin. In the foreground is a violin, a lute and a pile of books. This is an early work by Rembrandt from 1626. He made it when he was twenty years old and signed it with the monogramMonogramA monogram (from the Greek 'monogrammos' meaning 'comprising only lines') is a design formed from the combined initial letters of the first name and surname of an artist, for example 'CVE' for Caesar van Everdingen. Some artists' monograms show the letters joined, others show them intertwined. Yet others include an additional symbol. Dirk Vellert, for example, often included a star in his monogram RH: Rembrandt Harmensz. The painting was only 'discovered' to be by Rembrandt in 1936. Two vertical halves make up this panel, the join can be clearly seen in the centre. | |
