Description
Important TAPESTRY FROM THE ROYAL MANUFACTORY OF AUBUSSON
Mid-18th century.
Dimensions: 245 x 207 cm.
This design is based on a work by François Boucher or in the style of François Boucher.
In wool and silk.
This tapestry most likely belongs to the genre of pastoral and courtly scenes that dominated much of Aubusson’s production in the 18th century. It depicts an intimate and sentimental scene centred on childhood and motherhood.
The woman carrying a child and the two young women in the foreground evoke a pastoral genre scene rather than a historical, religious or mythological subject.
Beautifully fresh colours.
Remarkable state of preservation.
Conservation restoration.
