Description
Important tapestry from the Felletin Manufactory Creuse region Near Aubusson Circa 1720–1735 Title: The Game of ‘Main Chaude’ in a pastoral scene. Based on a cartoon by one of Antoine Watteau’s followers, probably Nicolas Lancret or Jean-Baptiste Pater. In wool and silk. This original, skilfully rendered scene evokes the rural amusements and games of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, which were later depicted by Jean-Baptiste Oudry around 1750 and by Jean-Baptiste Huet in the late 18th century. Remarkable dynamism in the group of figures (shepherdesses and shepherds) surrounded by lush vegetation, colourfully rendered on the left-hand side. Note the presence of two sheep on the right and the architecture of a garden temple.
