The Cello Player (c.1658). Gabriel Metsu (Dutch, 1629-1667). Oil on canvas. Royal Collection Trust.The subject of The Cello Player is love: the choreographed poses of the two figures, the emphasis placed on the shared pleasures of music, and the presence of the dog are the usual ingredients of such a scene. The disconsolate observer, whose pose is traditionally related to melancholy, is perhaps a frustrated lover. -- source link
