The strolling musicians, c.1635. A sympathetic inquiry into the lives of impoverished people, including beggars. Two musicians, one playing a hurdy gurdy, and the other the bagpipes, lean before an absorbed looking family with a toddler to perform. Light from inside the home illuminates the dim, intimate moment, thus highlighting the profiles of the players.
