Central scene in which Cupid teaches Pan (or Marsyas) to play the flute, a naked nymph in the background. Here the scene should be interpreted as John Law having taken off his mask and as the god of the wind trade being advised by the good spirit to abandon the wind trade. The nymph must then represent Mrs. Law. In a separately printed frame with small people, musical instruments and food that refer to Shrove Tuesday
