Engraving of a standing woman with long hair playing a stringed instrument, with a wavy landscape and a sphere at her feet.

Terpsichore, plate thirteen from Apollo and the Muses

A long-haired woman in a flowing gown and gathered sleeves holds a small lute or lyre at her waist, standing barefoot on grass before a wavy landscape with a distant town. A sphere rests at her feet, and an inscription label reads TERPSICORE XIII along the bottom border. The fine parallel hatching is an engraving.

Español: Terpsícore, lámina trece de Apolo y las musas

Una mujer de cabello largo, con vestido holgado y mangas recogidas, sostiene a la altura de la cintura un pequeño laúd o lira, de pie y descalza sobre la hierba frente a un paisaje ondulado con un pueblo lejano. Una esfera descansa a sus pies, y en la parte inferior aparece la leyenda TERPSICORE XIII. El rayado fino y paralelo corresponde a un grabado.
