1500 (half) - Window frame with musical instruments

The painting that surrounds the right window of the apse laterally represents trophies with musical instruments.

The musical instruments represented from top to bottom are:

To the left

Seven-choir lute, with openwork rosette, and below a trumpet and a four-string arm viola with its bow.

Psalter of architectural form with two pilasters on the sides of the soundboard, which has four perforated rosettes, equipped with bases and capitals, to support a triangular tympanum.

Tambourine with rattles

Six-choir lute with pastoral pegbox superimposed on a four-string viola, which features a sickle-shaped pegbox with a scroll, the keyboard decorated with tied keys, the bridge positioned very close to the tailpiece decorated like the keyboard.

To the right

Viola by four-stringed arm with its bow, which has a sickle-shaped pegbox with a scroll, a keyboard decorated with tied keys, the bridge placed near the smooth tailpiece.

Viola by four strings with its bow, which has the same aesthetic and organological characteristics as that described above and superimposed on a lute sketched out from the back.
