Frans Van Mieris, self-portrait.
I think the painting is (was?) in the Galleria Uffizi but I might be wrong.

I came across this image recently - possibly a chap playing a
double-headed lute. So (?) Dutch or English? Perhaps it's from a
well-known painting? I only had a camera phone and it was shot at an
angle to avoid the flash glaring against the glass. I've cropped the
writing underneath- but you can't see it clearly anyway - it says
something like 'micris' with some kind of diacritical twiddle over the
letter c (if it is a c).
