Commentary
Only very few details are available concerning this Vihuela de arco, described cursorily as a (alvarez1982, 1083) waisted vihuela de arco with corners (escotaduras), short neck and circular pegbox. The painting is very small and no further details are visible. Played by an angel on the shoulder.
