Judith Leyster (1629)

A cheerful lutenist, extravagantly dressed and singing a song - a serenade - is accompanying himself on the lute, a stringed instrument that was especially popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The painting appears to capture a moment in time, as if the lutenist were caught in the middle of a song. The young man glances upward and seems entirely engrossed in his music. Or perhaps he is looking up to the object of his serenade?   www.rijksmuseum.nl/

Я думаю, что взгляд весёлого lutenista направлен на объект обожания, но в то же время он поглощён музыкой, чтобы лучше донести её до объекта обожания.:)

Все может быть.
