| Description |
English: A pretty young woman, elegantly dressed, stands, her petticoats lifted up, while a lean and elderly man (left) fits on false posteriors. She wears feathers in her hair, and a nosegay; she looks over her right shoulder. At his side is a large pot, inscribed "Colla di Parma" [glue of Parma], in which is a brush. This is intended to indicate that he is the composer Colla born at Parma about 1730. From his coat-pocket papers protrude inscribed "Abel riceuta" and "Cantata del Principe Chigi in occasione del apertura del Pantheon". On the floor is an oboe lying under a paper inscribed "Cantata per il Benefizzio" [sic]. By the pot are a lyre, a laurel wreath, and a paint-brush. c.1775 [Dated c.1780 by Dorothy George, but perhaps somewhat earlier.]

editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
