The Dissius Sale of 1696

No. "A young lady playing a guitar, very good by the same" 70-0
Guitar Player by Johannes Vermeer

The Guitar Player
Johannes Vermeer

Even though the specific use of the word "guitar" seems to clearly indicate the The Guitar Player of Iveagh Bequest in London, it is not entirely out of the question that the Woman with a Lute in the Metropolitan might also be considered since nomenclature used in inventory descriptions were inaccurate at times. The substantial price of the painting would seem more than justified by the London picture’s exceptional luminosity.
