Still life paintings that include trombone are difficult to find; most often, if they include a brass instrument, they seem to include trumpet rather than trombone. However, I recently found the below image, also from the 2nd half [...]

Trombone on Organ Shutters
I just added the below image and caption to the Trombone History Timeline (17th century—2nd half). Elsewhere I have posted numerous examples of trombonists perched on organ pipes, but I believe this is the first picture I’ve added with a trombone on organ shutters. Included below but not in the timeline is a view of [...]
