caption: The image shows an old mandolin with a brown body and a white background. It is a photo of a lute, a stringed instrument with a long neck and a round sound hole in the center. The body of the mandolin is made of wood and has a glossy finish. The neck is curved and the strings are taut, indicating that it is ready to be played. The white background provides a stark contrast to the warm tones of the wood, making the instrument stand out.
