I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise as I don't usually name my instruments, except the name of the painting struck a chord with me, being probably the world's most avid Star Wars fan in the 70s and 80s.  So a little gurdy, played by little furry creatures, (like the Ewok of Endor) just came to mind.
 
I decided early that it would be called the Endor gurdy.  Normally I would just name it after the painter, but the Van Oostsanen gurdy just seemed a bit, well, not right for this one.
 
But now, if I introduce it regularly enough as an Endor gurdy, maybe I'll start getting Ewok jokes instead of monkey jokes...
