This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1908, who wrote; "278. Officers resting in a Stable. Two jovial officers are resting in a stable. A comely woman offers them a jug of wine. At the door stands a trumpeter blowing his trumpet. Through an open door at the back are seen people at play. Panel, 30 inches by 26 inches. Sales. H. A. Bauer and others, Amsterdam, September 11, 1820, No. 55 (61 florins, Meusardt). P. J. de Marneffe, Brussels, May 22, 1830, No. 148."[1]

This scene is very similar to other paintings De Hooch made in this period:
