Wow - that was quick work. That must be the picture. But is there any
evidence that the lutenist is Foscarini?
To be honest - when I first read the liner notes to the CD I thought they
were a work of fiction. But perhaps I am missing something.

Monica,
Would that be the picture you are looking for ?
If yes, it's just across the street, VAM ;-) !
Here's a link with details :

I came across this CD by the group Foscarini Experience with the title
"Bon voyage" some time ago. In the liner notes it mentions an
illustration which features Foscarini on a wagon playing the lute
together with a girl with a triangle and a violone player which
apparently dates from 1615 and is part of an illustration of a feast
held for the Archduchess Isabella Clara Eugenia, the wife of the
Archduke Albert.
Does anyone know anything about this illustration and whether the
lutenist is clearly identified as Foscarini. I have done a bit of
surfing the net but haven't found any trace of it.
