There is an excellent essay on this painting by David Van Edwards in the
latest Lute News.
There are many paintings showing coloured strings (not just basses,
where it might be an indication of loading), Dowland mentions them, and
I think some strings were just dyed different colours for some reason
which escapes us.

Hmm, too early for a canarios maybe?
I get the feeling she's not a seasoned player so I'm not taking anything from
her playing style.

I appreciate that the artist was very attentive so I started
zooming
around with the magnifier. I noticed that while the spacing is
unrealistic the top string was red. I hadn't heard about this
from
our modern string revivalists so I'm curious. What do you think
it
might be?
