The model was a young Roman woman, an occasional girlfriend of Caravaggio, his guardian angel for a week or a month.
Curly, black hair, a pretty half-mulled face, thin fingers fingering the lute strings. The whole room is shrouded in darkness, only the figure of the girl is brightly lit-this is Caravaggio’s favorite. By the way, some art critics believe that it was still a young man. Nevertheless, the image is full of poetry, music, love.
