From the collection of Kunsthaus Zürich
Gruppenbildnis einer musizierenden Familie is a 1671 oil by Jan Verkolje, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting shows a large group of people gathered in a room. They're all dressed in fancy 17th-century clothes, and some are playing musical instruments. The room has a big window with red curtains, and you can see a garden outside. One interesting detail is that the people are all looking at each other or at the music, like they're having a conversation. It's a pretty lively scene. If you want to learn more about the style of this painting, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Jan Verkolje or Johannes Verkolje (9 February 1650 (baptized) – 8 May 1693 (buried)) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and engraver.
