Antique Fiine French Tapestry 9'1'' x 12'4''

DESCRIPTION

This 17th century mythological tapestry shows a tall, central figure with an oval Apollo-pattern shield, in conversation with another figure in classical military garb. Two partly camouflaged hunters gesture to the left and two lavishly attired ladies stand at the right. Below is a partial stone floor and a foreground stream, while at the rear is a dense woodland. The chocolate brown border and beige displays a dense array of flowers and fruits. The subject of the scene is presently unidentified. The natural colors are well-preserved with viable reds and a wide range of blues. Good condition.
