"A Musical Party" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerrit van Honthorst, who was also known as Gerard van Honthorst (1592–1656). Created in the 1620s, this work is an exemplar of the Caravaggisti style, which Honthorst adopted after being influenced by the Italian master Caravaggio during his stay in Rome. The painting is notable for its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and to direct the viewer's attention to particular elements of the composition.

The scene depicted in "A Musical Party" is characteristic of Honthorst's genre works, which often portrayed merry companies and musical gatherings, reflecting the social customs and entertainments of the 17th century. The painting features a group of figures engaged in playing music and singing, illuminated by a single, artificial light source, a hallmark of Honthorst's nocturnal scenes. The light not only highlights the expressions and interactions of the figures but also enhances the textural details of their clothing and instruments.

Gerrit van Honthorst was a prominent figure in the Utrecht school of painting and his works were highly sought after, not only in the Netherlands but also by patrons across Europe. "A Musical Party" serves as an important example of his secular work and provides insight into the cultural life of the Dutch Republic during its Golden Age. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and contribution to the understanding of Northern European art influenced by Italian realism and dramatic lighting effects.
