A Musical Party - 1631, Jacob van Velsen
A música foi um dos temas mais populares da pintura holandesa, e levou muitas associações diversas. Nos retratos, um instrumento musical ou songbook pode sugerir a posição social da educação ou a babá, em cenas da vida cotidiana, pode atuar como uma metáfora para a harmonia, ou um símbolo de transitoriedade.

Music was one of the most popular themes in Dutch painting, and carried many diverse associations. In portraits, a musical instrument or songbook might suggest the education or social position of the sitter; in scenes of everyday life, it might act as a metaphor for harmony, or a symbol of transience.
