A nymph washes the central figure's feet in that painting, this man's Diana and her Companions. A crumpled piece of sheet music and a floor brush appear in the foreground of a painting by this artist in which a woman holding a cittern is presented the title (*) Love Letter. That painting uses the same black and white tiled marble floor as a work by this man depicting a lady standing at the virginal while her instructor looks on.
