Don't take pictures of renaissance musicians too seriously.  The artist
probably didn't play any instruments and was exagerating the mechanics of
playing the instruments.  I've seen tapestries in which recorder players
had distended cheeks!  We know from direct examination of the recorders of
that period that they weren't THAT hard to blow.
