| Description |  |
In this painting a brawling musician lifts his arms, squeezing lemon juice into the eyes of his supposedly blind opponent. The imposter's guide gasps with dismay while the two spectators at right knowingly laugh at the spectacle of deception revealed. An early work by La tour, this painting exhibits sharp diagonal rhythms, rapid calligraphic brushwork, and swift modulations in coloring that resonate with the violence of the subject.
