A mother sits with a small child playing the flute on her lap at a set table. Next to her, her husband blows a bagpipe with rounded cheeks and a little boy plays the flute while his grandfather and grandmother, both wearing glasses, sing. The singing old man indicates the beat with a finger. A large dog rests with his snout on the table and observes the scene with pointed ears. Against the wall behind the group a richly ornamented cartouche is depicted with the proverb Soo D'oude songen Soo Pepen De Jongen (so the ancients sang, so the boy squealed). Beneath the performance in the margin is a verse with an allusion to this proverb in Latin: 'As the ancients sang, so the boy squealed Soo D'oude Songen Soo Pepen De Jongen' (Soo D'oude Songen Soo Pepen De Jongen)., print maker: Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert, (mentioned on object), after: Jacob Jordaens (I), (mentioned on object), unknown, (mentioned on object), 1638 - 1659, paper, engraving, h 335 mm × w 462 mm
