Soldiers with a serving woman and a flute player is a 1650 oil by Pieter de Hooch, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Galleria Borghese.
This painting shows a group of people in a room. There are three men and one woman. The men are wearing hats and holding objects. One man is holding a flute, and another is holding a sword. The woman is standing behind them, wearing a headscarf. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the left side. The walls are made of stone, and there is a dog lying on the floor. In the background, there is a door that appears to lead outside. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation.
