An analysis of a 1570s portrait picturing a young women playing a lute while an old man holds a mirror and a skill, drawing on the traditions of memento mori and vanitas. The meaning and significance of the portrait when hung in a domestic space is considered, as well as what the image suggests about sixteenth-century attitudes to music-making in the home.
