Musical Party in a Hall (c. 1663–1665) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch painter Pieter de Hooch.
It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is now in the Museum der bildenden Künste, in Leipzig, Germany.
[1] On the left in a large hall, the left-hand portion of which is represented, sit three persons at a table covered with an Ispahan carpet, upon which are some oranges.
The cello-player sits to the right of the table, in full view of the spectator; he has long curls, and wears knee-breeches and a pink doublet with slashed sleeves over a white shirt with broad cuffs.
He looks at the lady sitting at his right; she has her music-book in her lap, and wears a greenish bodice and a yellow silk skirt.
