This scene is inspired by the Children's Games hanging after
Michel Corneille (1602-1664) whose drawings were used by the Parisian workshops, i.e. before the creation of the Gobelins.
The Aubusson workshops were encouraged to weave the different subjects of this hanging which was a resounding success and was woven by the Beauvais, Mortlake and Gobelins workshops. The Petit Palais museum in Paris preserves comparable tapestries such as the Saute-mouton or the Danse woven in Aubusson around 1720 by the Vallenet and Maingonnat workshops.
