162214499Amsterdam 1622. Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Original ca. 1620 engraving of an old man playing the violin by the Dutch Golden Age artist son of the engraver Jacob Matham. The man wearing a feathered cap and with a bagpipe strapped over his shoulder is shown playing the violin left-handed holding the instrument against his chest. The text below the image is a cheeky reference to the seventeenth-century sexual connotations of the violin and reads translated from the Dutch: "My snares strings are still strong as well as all the rest / So if my Aeltie helps then it will sure go best." The empty bagpipe the man carries is also a veiled reference to sexual prowess.  Hollstein Dutch 6; "Old men in black and white: the imagination of the age in Dutch printmaking 1550-1650" Anouk Janssen p. 283 fig. 188; Amsterdam Rijksmuseum RP-P-1883-A-7212.
