Thisis a typical enigmatic Caravaggesque painting: a strongly-lit, flamboyantlydressed young man wearing an exuberant feathered hat plays a recorder for twoyoung girls who are listening in the right background. In the foreground on thetable an assortment of cards and clay pipes.  
Anotherversion of the same composition, from the Luigi Koelliker collection, was sold at Sotheby’s London in 2008, as by an unidentified Flemish or German painter,circa 1630. It is very similar to our painting, but it lacks the two girls atright.
Jan Kosten from the RKD, The Hague, has in 2010 attributed that paintingto Cecco del Caravaggio, he dates it circa 1625.
