"A Hurdy Gurdy Player and other Musicians before a Cottage" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Joost Cornelisz. Droochsloot (1586–1666). Known for his detailed genre scenes and landscapes, Droochsloot often depicted village life with a keen eye for the daily activities and social interactions of his time. This particular painting is a fine example of his work, showcasing a group of musicians performing outside a rural cottage, with a hurdy gurdy player prominently featured.

The painting is characterized by its lively representation of the figures, each musician captured in mid-performance, suggesting a moment of joy and entertainment. The rustic setting, typical of Droochsloot's oeuvre, provides a charming backdrop to the scene, with the cottage and surrounding landscape rendered in meticulous detail. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful composition, brings focus to the central figures while still allowing the viewer to appreciate the overall setting.

As a genre scene, "A Hurdy Gurdy Player and other Musicians before a Cottage" offers insight into the social and cultural life of the Dutch Republic during the Golden Age.
