Descriptions

Description
This work is an example of a "feuilles de choux" tapestry that was produced in the tapestry centers of Enghien, Geraardsbergen and Oudenaarde in the late 15th- and early 16th century. The original border of the tapestry is missing and it seems like the tapestry was cut down.
