About this work
The Arts are here represented by Painting and Music. Painting is depicted as a graceful woman. Holding a palette in her hand, she paints a panel. At her feet sits Music. <BR />From a wealthy man like De Flines, it was expected that he would promote the Arts. For this art lover, the subject of this painting was therefore very appropriate.
