| Description |  |
The allegorical figure tunes a theorbo. At her shoulder is a songbird, symbol of natural music. This canvas, originally flanked by two music-making putti (Musée Magnin, Dijon), belonged to a series of the seven Liberal Arts commissioned by Gédéon Tallemant (1613-1668) for his house in the Marais quarter of Paris.
