介绍（中）	和他的意大利前任乔治·瓦萨里一样，卡雷尔·范·曼德尔一世最为人所知的是他的第一本荷兰艺术家传记集，但他也是一位技艺高超、想象力丰富的绘图员。这幅画描绘了奥维德的《变形记》（5.294-678）中讲述的一个故事，在这个故事中，埃玛西亚国王皮耶罗斯的女儿九个皮耶里德在挑战九位缪斯女神的歌唱比赛中失利后变成了喜鹊。场景设置在Helicon山或Parnassus山的一个圣地。范曼德可能效仿了罗索·佛罗伦萨之后的印刷品，似乎让阿波罗担任最终评委。这幅画和范·曼德在佛罗伦萨乌菲齐的两张类似的纸，可能是范·曼德尔的伟大同时代朋友亨德里克·戈尔齐乌斯精心制作但流产的《变形记》系列印刷插图的延续。反过来，范·曼德对奥维德的书很感兴趣，他在1604年发表了一篇评论，这一定促使戈尔齐乌斯创作了这部连续剧。
介绍（英）	Like his Italian predecessor Giorgio Vasari, Karel van Mander I is best known as an author, in his case of the first collection of biographies of Netherlandish artists, but he was also a highly skilled and wonderfully imaginative draftsman. This drawing depicts a story told in Ovid's Metamorphoses (5.294-678) in which the nine Pierides, daughters of King Pierus of Emathia, are turned into magpies after losing the singing contest to which they challenged the nine Muses. The scene is set at one of the sacred sources on Mount Helicon or Mount Parnassus. Probably following the example of a print after Rosso Fiorentino, van Mander seems to have cast Apollo as the final judge. This drawing and two similar sheets by van Mander at the Uffizi, Florence, may have been meant as the continuation of an elaborate but aborted series of print illustrations of the Metamorphoses by van Mander's great contemporary and friend Hendrick Goltzius. Goltzius in turn must have been incited to work on the series by van Mander's interest in Ovid's book, on which he published a commentary in 1604.
