"A Laughing Bravo with a Bass Viol and a Glass" is a 1625 painting by the Dutch artist Hendrick Terbrugghen, who was a leading figure in the Utrecht Caravaggism movement during the early 17th century. This work is emblematic of Terbrugghen's adeptness at blending the dramatic chiaroscuro and realism introduced by Caravaggio with a distinctly northern European sensibility. The painting depicts a jovial, half-length figure of a bravo, or a swaggering mercenary, holding a bass viol in one hand and a glass in the other, suggesting a moment of merriment and music.

The subject's direct gaze and the candid portrayal of his laughter mark a departure from the more reserved and formal portraiture of the period, infusing the piece with a sense of immediacy and intimacy. Terbrugghen's use of light accentuates the textures and physicality of the scene, from the gleam of the glass to the intricate details of the bravo's attire. The painting's composition and the bravo's engaging expression invite viewers into a world that is at once theatrical and personal.

"A Laughing Bravo with a Bass Viol and a Glass" is considered an important work in Terbrugghen's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in capturing the character and mood of his subjects. It also reflects the cultural milieu of the Dutch Golden Age, where music and genre scenes were increasingly appreciated by a growing middle-class audience. The painting is held in high regard for its art historical significance and its contribution to the understanding of Caravaggist influence on Northern European art.
