19th-century work in the style of earlier 18th-century Rococo art by Italian painter Claudio Rinaldi (1852-1909).
The painting captures a lively male musician playing a small guitar-like instrument, possibly a mandolin or early guitar, in period clothing. The subject is a common theme among several 19th-century artists who painted in earlier styles.

Rinaldi was born in Urbania, Italy, Rinaldi was a resident of Florence and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts there. He was a regular exhibitor at major European exhibitions during his lifetime. Some of his other known works include La pappa of the nonna(Grandma's baby food), La stanchezza (Tiredness), and L'amico dei gatti (The friend of cats).
