Painting of a musical company: a young woman reading at a table, a turbaned man playing a viol, a young man with a harp, and an older woman in shadow behind them.

Musical Company

A richly dressed young woman sits at a table with an open book while a turbaned man bows a viol and a young man stands behind her playing a harp. Behind them an older woman listens in shadow, a painting hangs on the dark wall, and books, a lute and a glass fill the foreground.
