The Four Witches by Dürer
The artwork of Albrecht Dürer engraved in 1497 and currently entitled "The Four Naked Women" or "The Four Witches" was probably not entitled by the artist (wiki/Dürer). It seems a lot more like the "Bath of Bathsheba" to me. Looking at the image with the idea of the "sound" that I've previously described you can find coherence with the image of Rembrandt entitled "Batsheba at Her Bath", created later on but more importantly the painting of Hans Menling, dated before the engraving of Dürer's plate – 1480.
Bathsheba is Old Testament figure of a soon to be wife of King David.

The demon in the bottom left corner of the Dürer depiction is nothing more than a doggy, which is also depicted at the painting of Jan van Eyck "The Arnolfini Portrait" dated at 1434.

I look at the disruption of the representation of this dog, pictured as demon and I think Hyeronymus Bosch might be involved.
