Nice example of "thumb center"
The lute looks pretty lute-like :)

That is a fascinating painting for all sorts of reasons. Apparently
the painter, Jan Vermeyen, spent a fair amount of time in Spain, and
I wonder if his "lutenist" might not have been a composite of his
northern (lute) and southern (vihuela) experiences? It seems as though
that lute has a number of quite vihuela characteristics (primary rose,
other sounding holes).
Or perhaps there were models like this in the Spanish Netherlands?
Combining the best of both worlds, so to speak.
Here is the link to the painting details etc:
