The picture shows johann adam reincken at the harpsichord, presumably dieterich buxtehude playing a viol, and an unidentified person singing (possibly johann philipp förtsch, singer and composer at the hamburg opera). Johann theile definitely is not pictured on this painting - the recent discovery of a portrait of theile from a contemporary music print shows a different person. The singer in the painting has often been erroneously identified as buxtehude. Nowadays it is assumed to be a self-portrait of the painter. See also musical company, johannes voorhout, 1674. Object Type: painting. Date: 1674. Medium: oil on canvas. Depicted People: Johann Adam Reincken. Collection: Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte. Musical Company by Johannes Voorhout (1674)
