Boat with ten people onboard from Ship of Fools
Some of the figures in The Ship of Fools are making musica. A fondness for music, song and the playing of instruments is yet another typical characteristic of the phlegmatic temperament [Klibansky, Panofsky & Saxl, 1964, 127, 130, note 10], and couples making music often occur in illustrations of it.
