Manufacture Royale d’Aubusson. A romantic scene set within a medallion adorned with flowers and foliage. Tapestry woven in wool and silk (wear in the silk threads). Louis XVI period, circa 1770. Height: 232 cm - Width: 163 cm Note: This delicate and elegant tapestry depicts a young couple in the central medallion. The tightly composed design reveals only a few plant motifs, a hat, and bouquets of flowers. This scene evokes the compositions created by François Boucher for the Beauvais tapestry workshop—which were regularly reproduced at the Aubusson workshop—as well as the gallant figures of Jean-Baptiste Huet and Nicolas-Jacques Julliard. The tapestry has retained its beautiful colors and has no border; this may be original, as this was the period when tapestries began to be woven without borders so they could be inserted into wooden frames.
