Hendrick Ter Brugghen channels his inner Caravaggio here, using dramatic lighting to spotlight a bagpipe player who looks like he's in the middle of a very loud solo. The musician wears a turban and a shirt that’s casually slipping off his shoulder, giving him a rugged, exotic look. In the 1600s, bagpipes weren't just for Scottish highlands—they were the pop music of the streets in the Netherlands! This is likely a 'tronie,' a study of a character type rather than a portrait of a specific guy, allowing the artist to play with costumes and expressions.
