VERDURE TAPESTRY - AUBUSSON, 18TH CENTURY in wool and silk, decorated with greenery and birds in an undergrowth landscape: in the center, a stream crosses a clearing bordered by tall trees with abundant foliage, treated in a rich range of greens and blues. Two wading birds frolic at the water's edge, while in the background, hills and distant architecture can be made out. The composition is framed by a border of trophies and foliage, embellished with stylized floral and grotesque motifs in brown and beige monochrome.
