The map on the wall above the virginal is based on one of North and South America called 'Americae nova descriptio' which was published by Dancker Danckerts in Amsterdam in 1661. The dress and coiffure of the woman who stands before it are identical to those in 'A Woman by a Harpsichord' by Ochtervelt (also in the National Gallery's Collection).
