    The author presents a proof of the quintuple identity \[ \begin{gathered}\prod_{n=0}^\infty(1-q^{2n+2})(1-zq^{2n+1}) \biggl(1-\frac{1}{z}q^{2n+1}\biggr) (1-z^2q^{4n}) \biggl(1-\frac{1}{z^2}q^{4n+4}\biggr)\\ = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}q^{3n^2+n} (z^{3n}q^{-3n}-z^{-3n-1}q^{3n+1}),\end{gathered} \] for \(z\neq 0\) and \(| q| <1\).
