c. 1570—Germany

An engraving by Franz Ignaz Brun from the Nine Muses series features an angel-musician playing trombone (see first image below; public domain) (British Museum). A second image, The Muse Calliope, a plaquette after the style of Brun, is essentially a mirror image of Brun’s (without the wings). It comes from a set of several plaquettes depicting muses playing various musical instruments (see second image below; public domain) (Marle 273, fig. 306).  Yet another image, also representing Polyhymnia, is also nearly a mirror image of the Brun, and may be either a preparatory sketch or a copy of one of the images (see third image below; public domain) (Louvre, INV 18676.6).
