Close by, a woman bows a three-stringed rebec--an instrument tuned in fifths like a violin, usually used to play dance music. The costly braiding decorating the man’s coat, and his tight-fitting stockings and pointed wooden sandals suggest the clothing of the courtly class at end of the 15th century. The engraving has been interpreted as depicting marital harmony and longstanding fidelity. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1930.530/1930.530_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1930.530/1930.530_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1930.530/1930.530_full.tif
