Italian School. Probably Venice. 17th century.‘Lady playing the lute’.Oil on canvas. 141 x 115 cm.Courtier playing the lute, in an interior scene in which we also see an old woman with coins, perhaps as an allusion to the passing of time, to the vainglory represented by the jewels the lady is wearing and the coins. To her left a humble child holds out a small bag as if begging for alms. This painting can be seen as a Vanitas.Provenance: Private collection Barcelona, acquired in the mid-20th century on the London art market, possibly at a Sotheby's auction. At the time it was considered to be painted by Pietro della Vecchia.

The Bottega degli Embriachi was an important producer of artworks carved in bone (and occasionally ivory) in a framework of inlaid wood. It was active in Northern Italy from circa 1375 A.D. until circa 1433. It relocated from Florence to Venice about 1395. The Bottega was especially known for 'marriage caskets' with tall columnar lids, with carved bone figural panels. Some of the panels here are evidently Christian (the figure with the cross and chalice) while others are perhaps purely symbolic (Justice with sword and scales) and some are simply puzzling (e.g. the three-faced figure with serpents).Acquired Delchar, London, 2011. Private collection, Suffolk, UK. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by a search certificate number no.12291-221716. [No Reserve]
