Scene with river god and nymphs

Inventory number: CVH 512/15 verso
Bollaert & Moortgat

On the left, under a tree and leaning on a pitcher from which water is flowing, sits a river god; in the centre foreground is another sort of god or satyr, who is blowing a horn and holding a stick with an object (?) at the top in his right hand; on the right, two nymphs are dancing in the water. Above this scene is a very vague depiction of some putti, floating in the sky.
