Euterpe, muse of music and lyric poetry

Euterpe, muse of music and lyric poetry, sits on a chair holding a trumpet and a cartouche with a coat of arms. On her lap lies a closed book; beside her lie a violin, theorbo, and a viola da gamba. Behind Euterpe flies a putto with a burning torch; to the left, putti hold a fasces (symbol of unity) and a snake biting its own tail (symbol of eternity). Below the scene is a two-line inscription in Dutch.
