''The Merry Trio'' is an oil painting by Judith Leyster in the Collection Noortman.〔Judith Leyster: A Woman Painter in Holland's Golden Age, by Frima Fox Hofrichter, Doornspijk, 1989, Davaco Publishers, ISBN 90-70288-62-1, catalog #9〕 It was considered a work by Frans Hals until 1903. ==Provenance== The painting was together with Leyster's ''The Last Drop'' in the collection of the British dealer/auction house Sir George Donaldson (1845-1925) where it was documented in 1903.〔 The two may be pendants, as they were then reported to have the same measurements. According to Hofrichter, the scene shows the popular ''Merry company'' theme common in 17th-century ''commedia dell'arte'' plays.〔 This daylight scene serves as a contrast to its candlelit pendant which warns of the dangers of drinking and smoking. Clearly, Leyster preferred the sober yet festive daytime scene, because she selected the musician on the right to illustrate her self-portrait.
