Jacob Matham (1571-1631)
After Hendrick Goltzius (1558-167)
There are several beautiful allegories by Goltzius and others in the collection, some in a mode of classical gods and goddesses personifying abstract concepts like the Five Senses (or Seven Planets, Four Elements, etc.). The fives senses are usually female and are identified here by flowers for smell, fruit for taste, musical instruments for hearing, a mirror for sight and a biting snake for touch (or more precisely, pain).
