I suspect the second one is a cello. :)

The first card is really interesting. I'm trying to figure out what the eggs and lemon have to do with the composition.

This whole series of blogs posting cards is interesting Bram, thanks for posting them.

..perhaps offerings thrown at the violinist after the concert.

Maybe the significance of the eggs and lemon is that the violinist would like some home made lemon chiffon cake.

You are right, Neil Cameron. On the backside of the card with the instrument on the wooden floor was: Steve Martin (born 1950) 1984/Hello cello! You can see the iron pin and you miss the black chinthing.
On the card with the eggs, citrons, they wrote on the backside: Rein Pol, Netherlands violin with eggs, 1979 oil on panel 41x56 cm. A still life painting.
