Portrait of a Family Playing Music by Pieter de Hooch

Portrait of a Family Playing Music (1663)

Pieter de Hooch | Dutch Golden Age | Oil on canvas

A wealthy Dutch family makes music together at home. Notice the marble floor, the silk clothes, and the fancy prayer rug from Transylvania spread across the table. The music is also a sign that this family gets along in perfect harmony!

Did you know? Nobody knows who this family was! But look at the carved chest on the right: its Chinese vases and Japanese lacquer boxes came from Asia, thanks to booming Dutch trade. Back then, the Dutch Republic was the richest, most city-packed nation of its time.
