介绍（中）	为了制作这块面板，三张用胸甲布利技术装饰的皮革板连接在一起，将湿皮革操纵并模制成所需的形状。材料硬化干燥后，将装饰细节切割并打入表面。装饰面板和单独的鸡蛋和飞镖框架，也由皮革制成，可能是该作品的原创，然后安装在橡木面板上，该面板一度作为门安装。身着华丽服装，手持中提琴的细长女性形象很可能是Polyhymnia，古希腊神圣音乐的缪斯女神，或音乐的化身。该面板可能是广泛的墙壁装饰的一部分，其中包含七门文科，这是一种典型的人文主义方案，用于中等规模的工作室或书房。如果是这样，这是同类产品中已知最大的文艺复兴时期皮革面板。风格主义的卷轴和怪诞的人物让人想起法国北部枫丹白露城堡工匠"第二学校"的装饰词汇，由亨利四世国王（1553-1610）雇用。雕塑般的生物和巧妙构思的线性图案，结合构图的建筑纹理，指向一个经验丰富的工作室。
介绍（英）	To create this panel three leather sheets decorated in the cuir bouilli technique, whereby the wet leather was manipulated and molded into the desired shape, were joined together. After the material was hardened and dry, the ornamental details were incised and punched into the surface. The decorated panel and the separate egg-and-dart frame, also made of leather and possibly original to the piece, were then mounted on an oak panel that was at one point installed as a door. The large elongated female figure clad in a richly draped costume and holding a viola da braccio is most likely Polyhymnia, the ancient Greek muse of sacred music, or the personification of music. The panel may have been part of an extensive wall decoration incorporating the Seven Liberal Arts, a typical Humanist scheme, for a modestly sized studiolo, or study. If so, this is the largest known Renaissance leather panel of its kind. The Mannerist scrollwork and grotesque figures recall the ornamental vocabulary of the "second school" of artisans at the Château de Fontainebleau in northern France, hired by King Henry IV (1553-1610). The sculptural creatures and masterfully conceived linear motifs, combined with the architectural texture of the composition, point to an experienced workshop.
