The organ within the church of St Catherine at Lenzen, Germany, Europe.

I believe that this scene depicts the organ builder watching and listening to the instrument being played following adjustment or repair. The organ was originally built by Arp Schnitger for St. George's Church in Hamburg in 1708 and bought for use at Lenzen in 1747. In 1751 the church tower collapsed causing considerable damage to the instrument. It was subsequently completely reconstructed by Gottlieb Scholtze in 1759. Lenzen is a town that the Elbe cycle path passes through to the west of Wittenberg.
