Jan Molenaer - Two Boys and a Girl making Music [1629]


The subject of children making music celebrates the carefree pleasures of youth. The boy on the left is playing a violin, and the one on the right a rommelpot (rumbling pot). The girl, who is wearing a soldier's gorget, beats an accompaniment with spoons on a helmet.
