"Street Musicians at the Doorway of a House" (1665) is a captivating oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jacob Ochtervelt (1634–1682), showcasing his exceptional skill in capturing the nuances of daily life and social interactions of 17th-century Dutch society. This artwork, measuring 73 x 60 cm, is part of Ochtervelt's oeuvre that predominantly focuses on scenes of elegant indoor settings and street views, often highlighting the contrast between different social classes.

The painting depicts a moment of casual encounter between the inhabitants of a well-to-do household and a group of street musicians, a common sight in the urban landscapes of the Netherlands during the period. The composition is carefully arranged to draw the viewer's attention to the central interaction at the doorway, where a maid, possibly holding a coin, engages with the musicians, suggesting a transaction or a charitable act. This scene is further enriched by the presence of a well-dressed lady and a child in the background, observing the exchange, thereby adding layers of social commentary on charity, entertainment, and class dynamics.

Ochtervelt's mastery in the use of light, color, and texture brings this everyday scene to life with a remarkable sense of realism and depth. The artist's attention to detail, from the expressions of the figures to the intricate details of their clothing and the architectural elements, contributes to the narrative quality of the painting. "Street Musicians at the Doorway of a House" stands as a testament to Ochtervelt's ability to capture the essence of Dutch society, offering insights into the cultural and social practices of the time.
