- True to the tradition of Aubusson greenery, this verdant landscape sounds like an open window on nature's abundance. This oasis of greenery, like a silent retreat that no human noise seems likely to disturb, brings together in a small space several elements considered symbolic of rural happiness: tall trees sheltering abundant life, a quiet bird in the center, flowering plants, a stretch of water. The hilly landscape offers a multitude of paths for the eye, leading to a village in the background to the right.
- The composition is carefully crafted, with a sense of depth created by the succession of different planes and hills. The perceived volume of the foliage is finely conveyed by light green tones juxtaposed with darker ones, and by flashes of light introduced by touch, thanks to the use of golden-yellow silk, at the tips of the leaves.
- Of infinite variety, verdures remain a constant in the production of Aubusson workshops between the 17th and 18th centuries. While the exhibition of verdant nature is their main theme, their differences lie notably in the quality of the design, the finesse of the weaving and their borders. The tapestry we're looking at has a decorative border featuring garlands of flowers and foliage.
-Lined, good color retention, reweaving in the borders and wear (see photos).
