This has to qualify as one of the most peeved-looking works of art featuring a half-naked lady *ever*.    One feels the painter has lured the lady into being painted, and she's now chilly, bored, and wishes she'd never seen a dratted cittern.

You are spot on.A silly picture as who would play music like that? At least most nudes are bathing or recling.
