Hello Martyn,
I understand perfectly well that the Tenier's picture has nothing to do
with the 'Italian representation', and I'd never meant to represent it
that way. That particular set of the pictures, as well as the other one
further down the page ('anjo com viola' from Abrantes, Portugal), are
only (mostly!) there just to illustrate how widespread such
organological feature as asymmetrical arrangement of pegs was from
country to country. So, in a way, it serves the opposite purpose to what
you tried to extract from it! Perhaps you've got confused by my wording
"in the context" next to the second link that I gave, which was supposed
to mean "in the context of the article" describing that particular
feature, not in the topic of our discussion, sorry about that.

Further to the below, on reflection I may be mistaken to describe the
Teniers picture as an Italian representation - whilst he worked mainly
in a part of the Hapsburg dominions I think a link to Italy is a bit
too speculative. But the pilaster representation is very clearly
Italian
