Good point Rob, but, if we're thinking of one of the pictures, I
recall it seems to show a large lute with a single neck. Whilst this
could, of course, be the engraver's own fancy it might suggest the
performer is playing a gallichon (large continuo
type)..................

I am well out of my depth here, so apologies, but are there not also
a
couple of paintings or engravings which might show Weiss at work?
One
is an opera setting, with a possible Weiss in the orchestral pit?
The
other is a small ensemble gathering, with a possible Weiss playing a
long German theorbo (i.e. not a theorbo-lute)? Not exactly
'portraits',
but worth mentioning, maybe?
