- Tapestry fragment, woven in a Brussels workshop around the mid-16th century. This tapestry depicts a landscape with lush vegetation around a body of water; this weaving resembles a Verdure. Among the ferns, reeds, and other plants, two ducks sail peacefully on the water.
- This fragment is similar to the production of Brussels workshops from the mid-16th century. This is evidenced by the theme, the careful design, the beautiful fineness of the weave (7 threads/cm) which creates a supple textile, the materials used (wool and silk), and the colors, whose freshness suggests the use of colorfast fabrics.
- Condition: Some wear and old restorations are noted (see photos).
- Dimensions: Height: 41 cm, Width: 118 cm
