Description
AUBUSSON. Pastoral scene. Knotted-loop wool tapestry. Damage and restoration. 208 x 194 cm. A group of three figures are preparing for the transhumance of a flock comprising three ewes and a billy goat by making flower collars to adorn the animals. Influenced by the Enlightenment philosophers, who advocated a return to a rustic, natural way of life, the decorative arts of the second half of the 18th century embraced pastoral and other rural themes, culminating in the construction of the Queen’s Hamlet at Versailles.
