And then, behind those three was a slightly larger instrument with a lady playing it. I guess that was an actual cello -- it looked too big, but perhaps it merely seemed so in comparison to the others. If you paste in the link to the photo, I'll insert it in the post.

If I can figure out how to do it I'll post a link to a photo of one. The bass violins were immediately to the left of the conductor – two of them with a gamba to their right.

But it <i>should</i> be slightly larger and (probably) tuned a tone or more lower. Being a transitional instrument, it went few a few iterations, so it really depends which old manuscript/woodcut it was based on (or which actual instrument it is, if genuine).
