Description
Tambourine Player, Flemish School, first half of the 17th century, oil on canvas, 73.5 x 61 cm The young figure is depicted in half-length against a dark background, wearing a large, wide-brimmed hat adorned with roses, a pearl necklace and a richly decorated dress. She holds a tambourine in her hands, an element that lends the composition a musical and festive character.The work is part of early 17th-century Dutch figurative art, and in particular the style that developed in Utrecht featuring isolated female figures, elegantly dressed and often depicted with musical, pastoral or allegorical attributes.There are striking similarities with the works of Paulus Moreelse (1571–1638), particularly in the close-up composition of the figure, the half-length format, the contrast with the dark background and the refined elegance of the clothing. The young women painted by Moreelse frequently wear large headdresses adorned with flowers, low necklines, pearls and floral motifs, in a style that straddles the line between idealised portraiture, genre painting and allegory.
