And the baroque guitar - featured in one of his most famous painting which I
regular pay hommage to at Kenwood House in North London. The question is -
were these models actually playing the instruments are are they just props.
The lady playing the guitar is wearing the yellow jacket bordered with
ermine featured in several other paintings too.
If the film is anything like most "historical" movies everything except the
music will be authentic.
