A View of Delft, with a musical instrument seller's stall

Carel Fabritius (1624/22 - 1654)

National Gallery

1652

In the foreground a musical instrument seller with a viol da gamba and a lute. Before him a street with the Nieuwe Kerke across a canal, and on the right a cobbled pavement rising to a bridge over which can be seen the houses of the Vrouwenrecht. Remarkable for the finish of a miniaturist and for the perspective.
