Ein vom Künstler bevorzugtes und im Verlauf seiner Karriere immer wieder aufgegriffenes Motiv ist die Lautenspielerin. In unserem mit feinmalerischer Präzision ausgeführten Gemälde sitzt eine musizierende Frau annähernd frontal zum Betrachter gewandt, wobei die Beine leicht nach links gerichtet sind und der Oberkörper ein wenig nach rechts gewandt ist. Mit graziösen Bewegungen zupft sie die Seiten der Laute und greift die Bünde am Steg des Instruments, während der leicht geöffnete Mund vermuten lässt, dass sich die Musikerin mit der Laute selber beim Gesang begleitet. Am rechten Bildrand dürften die entsprechenden Notenblätter auf einem mit einer roten Samtdecke bedeckten Tisch stehen.Das von links einfallende Licht modelliert die Figur der jungen Dame und lässt den Schatten des Instrumentenhalses auf ihren linken Unterarm fallen. Das Licht sorgt zudem für das virtuos wiedergegebene Schimmern der kostbaren, apricotfarbenen Seide beim Rock der Lautenspielerin. Eglon van der Neer konkurrierte bei der effektvollen Wiedergabe der stofflichen Textur von Seide und anderen pretiösen Stoffen mit Gerard ter Borch. Zum schimmernden Seidenrock trägt die junge Frau eine weiße, mit weitgebauschten Ärmeln versehene Leinenbluse, die jedoch schon leicht lasziv von der Schulter gerutscht ist. Neben dem strahlenden Weiß der Bluse und dem hellen Inkarnat wird das Kolorit unseres Gemäldes von einem delikaten Farbakkord bestimmt, der aus dem Apricot des Rocks, dem tiefdunklen Rot der samtenen Tischdecke und dem warmen Braun des Lautenkörpers gebildet wird.Eddy Schavemaker hat unser Gemälde auf die erste Hälfte der 1680er Jahre datiert, als Eglon van der Neer in Brüssel lebte. Geboren wurde der Künstler in Amsterdam als Sohn des Landschaftsmalers Aert van der Neer. Nach seiner Ausbildung arbeitet er zunächst von 1654 bis 1659 im südfranzösischen Orange, danach abwechselnd in Rotterdam und Amsterdam, bevor er 1679 nach Brüssel übersiedelt, wo er bis 1695 lebt. 1687 wird van der Neer zum Hofmaler des spanischen Königs Karl II. ernannt, elf Jahre später zum Hofmaler des Pfälzer Kurfürsten, in dessen Residenzstadt Düsseldorf er 1703 gestorben ist. Neben eleganten Genredarstellungen wie dem vorliegenden Gemälde führte van der Neer Portraitaufträge aus und schuf darüber hinaus einige religiöse und mythologische Gemälde sowie in seinen späteren Lebensjahren vermehrt Landschaftsansichten. Zusammen mit Adriaen van der Werff, seinem bedeutendsten Schüler, und Godefridus Schalcken gilt Eglon van der Neer als einer der Vollender der Leidener Feinmalerei.

His Life and Work (=Aetas aurea 22), Doornspijk 2010, p. 497, no. 104, colour plate XXXVI.Eglon van der Neer created several depictions of elegant young ladies, most of whom pursue an everyday activity in a distinguished interior of the haute bourgeoisie. One of the artist's preferred motifs, taken up time and again throughout his career, is the lute player. In our painting, executed with fine painterly precision, a lady playing music is seated almost directly facing the viewer with her legs pointing slightly to the left and her upper body turned slightly to the right. She plucks at the lute with graceful movements and grasps the frets on the bridge of the instrument, while her slightly open mouth suggests that the musician is accompanying her with the lute while singing. The likely corresponding sheets of music can be seen on a table covered with a red velvet cloth on the right edge of the picture. The light coming from the left models the figure of the young lady so the shadow of the neck of the instrument falls on her left forearm. The light also generates the virtuoso shimmer of the precious, apricot-coloured silk on the lute player's skirt. Eglon van der Neer competed witFull description on lot-tissimo.com
