The function and method of display of NG 3714 have been much debated. Its exaggerated perspective and the cutting-off of the foreshortened viola da gamba are the two principal features which lend support to the suggestion that the painting formed part of a perspective box or peepshow. Such a box probably had a curved back. But no closely comparable box survives and so any reconstruction must remain hypothetical. However Fabritius, who according to early biographers was interested in perspective and illusionism, is described in four documents as having made perspective boxes.
Bought in Naples, 1836; in the collection of Sir William Eden, Bt, by 1909; bought from his son, Sir Thomas Eden, Bt, by the NACF and presented, 1922.
