content: Print after an overdoor painting of an allegory of music. Musicians stand within an arched balcony, with other figures in the background. Three of them play stringed instruments, with musical sheets in front of them on the balustrade. They wear turbans with feathers. Solomonic columns flank the figures, with a curtain to the left and classical ionic columns in the background leading to an archway decorated with a central trophy of musical instruments and a mascaron, with the sky visible in the background. The title is lettered below and the plate is signed.
