. The picture shows Dietrich Buxtehude playing a viol, Johann Adam Reinken at the harpsichord, and an unidentified person singing (possibly Johann Philipp F+?rtsch, 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.
