拍品专文

According to the legend, it is Mnemosyne, godess of memory, with whom Jupiter fathers the nine Muses. See Hervouët and Bruneau, La Porcelaine des Compagnies des Indes à Décor Occidental, Paris, 1986, p. 303, fig. 13.45 for a saucer with this scene, which the authors inform us is after an engraving by S. Le Clerc illustrating Les Métamorphoses d'Ovide en rondeaux, by Isaac de Bensérade, published in 1676.
