Other paintings by Utrecht artists feature the same model, whose extravagant mustache and broken tooth make him instantly recognizable.Description
Baburen, a native of Utrecht, was among the first to introduce Caravaggio’s revolutionary style to the Netherlands. Half-length figures positioned close to the picture plane project a lively spontaneity. This musician’s loose, colorful dress marks him as a figure at the edges of society, unbound by behavioral norms—associations enhanced by his bold gaze, unshaven face, and cheeky grin complete with broken tooth.- -1936Swiss Private Collector1936-2017By inheritance to Swiss Private Collector22 September 2017Sale: Zurich (Köller Auktionen), 22 September 2017-2018Salomon Lilian, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art2018-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
