Aubusson Tapestry in wool and silk, late 17th... Lot 36

Aubusson Tapestry in wool and silk, late 17th century In the foreground, three curious animals are the stars of this tapestry. A deer and a sheep face each other, while a slender fox turns its back on them. The three of them frolic in a green undergrowth, in the shade of tall trees, under the gaze of two birds. Through a hole in the forest, a castle appears on the horizon. A border with garlands of fruit, flowers and acanthus leaves enriched by a few birds.
