| Description |
English: Oil on canvas painting by John Phillip; A Lady Playing the Mandolin, painted in 1854. H 51 x W 61 cm. The painter was painting Spanish subjects at this time, so it needs to be considered whether the instrument is not a mandolin but a bandurria. 8 strings (known from looking at the peghead) make it likely to be a mandolin. Bandurrias by this time likely had 12 strings.
