Street Musicians at the Door is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Ochtervelt, painted in Rotterdam in 1665. It depicts a mother, child and maid from a wealthy family interacting with two musicians at the door of their house. The musicians are playing a violin and a hurdy-gurdy. It is an example of an "entrance hall painting", a genre pioneered by Ochtervelt. The work is now in the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum in St. Louis, Missouri.Painting credit: Jacob Ochtervelt
