Or could be the result of scraping the sounboard wood flush with the
fingerboard after the top has been glued back following a repair work.
It can happen when the top is not clamped properly.

Also, regarding the wear marks: the contact points on modern lutes are
darker than the rest of the top from accumulated oils and dirt. Those
in the painting are lighter than the surrounding belly. Could the top
have been varnished so that the marks are revealing bare wood?

So what do I know? the top of the bass extension appears to have at
least two pegs mounted perpendicular to the others, coming out of or
going behind the plane of the neck. If there are three arranged that
way, it would account for all 9 string.
To me, it looks like two strings on the lute are broken, and someone,
the Lady, perhaps, has gathered the loose lengths up and tucked them
under the string plane to keep them out of the way.
Many portraits of this era made use of allegory: perhaps the artist
was
aware of, and painted into the picture, his assessment of the
couple's
relationship, the lady's pre-occupied look to the heavens and her
instrument's broken strings being connected and a statement upon
either
her fidelity or comfort with her portrait-sharing partner?
If I were asked to sit for a portrait with such an instrument, and
told, by the artist, to sit on the right side of the other person, I
would, politely and inappropriately-for-playing, rotate the lute in
my
lap to stick the neck off to the left. So I don't take any hints of
handedness of the picture from that. The broken strings, the
inattention or even ennui on her face, and the dog add up to
unmusical
indications of the Lady's status in the eyes of the painter, though.

I do agree: this is why I suggested that 'In short, the very

the statement rather than the playing of music'.

Martyn,
There seems to be an inside joke we're not privy to here. It may
just
be that the artist liked the 90 degree angle created by the 2
instruments when held this way. And/or if she held it in the
normal
position she would have risked obscuring the man's face and
throwing
off the composition.But look at the dog: he/she doesn't seem to
be
enjoying the lute playing and the reaction is aimed pointedly at
the
lute player. Something important is happening there.
This borders on parody, seen apparently from the point of view of
the
male gamba player, who looks directly at us. Subtle; but barely .
.
.
It seems to me to be a joke on the woman, whether or not she was
"in"
on it.

Very interesting David.
It may be simply a fashionable couple wanting to be portrayed
performing but in fact unable to play a note! Perhaps the
painter
who,
as you point out, might be thought to have known better was
laughing up
his sleeve...
Or perhaps, and maybe more likely (the painter might not have
wished to
be later seen to make fools of his rich clients), they had
insisted on
this sort of pose (it certainly looks very stylised
especially
with the
young lady's eyes turned to heaven etc) and their insistence
overcame
any scruples the painter may have expressed about depicting
them
actually playing. In short, the very act of posing for the
picture was
the statement rather than the playing of music.

Subject: [LUTE] Another lute picture?
Dear All,
My Lute of the Month series has dwindled to lute of the
Year
these
days! It's because I've mainly been writng them for the
Lute
Society's
newsletter, Lute News, now it has a nice full colour cover.
But here is the latest, as it were more public, example up
on
the web
at
[1][4][10][11][12]http://www.vanedwards.co.uk/month/Nov%2015/month.htm
I hope you find it fun! As usual please email me any
corrections or

Best wishes,
