    <meta charset="UTF-8" />- This tapestry, in wool and silk, offers us a real window open onto a greenery of character. The exposed vegetation, treated with realism, appears with great strength and vitality; the animated shape of the tree trunks hollowed out by cavities, the abundant aspect of the numerous foliage, the luminous power of light tones juxtaposed in contrast with dark greens and browns. The eye gets lost with delight in the many woven details; a watercourse, tree stumps, known plant species (thistles, irises...), two perched birds, a background with a bell tower and mountainous reliefs.

    - The originality of this tapestry also lies in its wide border which further enhances its decorative effect. This type of frame is characteristic of 17th century weavings which, under the influence of Flanders, were equipped with a border that took on increasing importance.
    The delicately drawn border is here decorated with bouquets and falls of flowers (roses, tulips, etc.) and fruits (grapes), goldwork elements mixed with draperies, all on a brown background. The frame has, at the four cardinal points, elegant cartouches imitating wrought metal. Each one houses a medallion in which a tulip blossoms. A nice detail; the border itself is framed by a frieze with three pearls that completes the highly decorative character of the latter.

    - Dimensions: Height: 292 cm, Width: 172.5 cm

    - Good condition, some wear and restorations are to be noted. Lined on the reverse, double fastening system with velcro and cord.
