The present painting has been dated to roughly that period, although it is not a documented work and must therefore be considered as attributed to Bijlert. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 2 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/16\_cent/milano\_lute.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Francesco da Milano: Tre fantasie for lute</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [A Woman Holding Pancakes]() - [Allegory of the Sense of Smell]() - [Bagpipe Player]() - [Girl Teasing a Cat]() - [Music-making Company]() - [Musical Company]() - [Portrait of an Unknown Man]() - [Shepherd Holding a Flute]() - [Shepherdess]() - [The Concert]() - [Ulysses and Circe]() - [Venus and Amor and an Old Woman]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
