A drawing of a landscape with buildings in the distance and a man seated in the centre, playing a viol-da-gamba. The viol-da-gamba, a six-stringed instrument played resting between the legs, was popular in Venice in the 16th century and appears in numerous Venetian drawings (eg. Morgan Library, New York, inv. I, 75; British Museum, 1895,0915.817). The drawing is generally in the style of Domenico Campagnola, but the character of the trees (in particular) is later, and Popham (in P&W) suggested it 'may well be a Bolognese copy', by an artist such as Francesco Brizio. Stamped in the lower right corner with a George V blind stamp.
