Musical Company
This curious painting refuses to divulge its secrets. The image can be interpreted as an admonition to praise God with singing and music-making, but also as a risqué scene of seduction. The young woman’s gaudy garments and red shoes are in questionable taste, and the old
woman looks suspiciously like a procuress. Perhaps the painting contains a warning against immoral conduct.
