FELLETIN (Creuse region, near AUBUSSON) Important wool and silk tapestry panel. Taken from the Bible and the Old Testament, on the story of King David, the shepherd who became King (the significance of the sheep around him). David calls Betsabee's husband (Uriah) back from war to sleep with his wife, but he refuses. King David then urges the commander of his army, Joab (seen on the left), to launch a risky attack with the aim of killing Uriah in battle - which eventually happens. Betsabee can be seen on King David's right, in the center. Nineteenth-century patches around the edges. Restorations. Hole in border. Shading. Late 17th - early 18th century. Dim. H 260 x W 460 cm
