Active selection in cart:
| Caption | This exceptionally small harpsichord sounds a fifth above normal pitch and is the only one of its kind to have survived. The Flemish Ruckers family, perhaps the most famous harpsichord makers of all time, produced instruments richly ornamented with paintings as well as with simpler printed paper decoration, like the one here. The soundboard is painted with floral and bird motifs in tempera. Origin: Antwerp. Date: 1627. Object ID: BK-2016-98-2. |
