Tapestry — Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer — ca. 1700-1720

Tapestry woven in wool and silks on woollen warps. 17 warps to the inch. With grotesque and mythological motifs. An architectural framework occupies the whole width of the scene. Suspended in the middle is a canopy with a heavy tasselled drapery above and two musicians below, one standing and playing the flute and the other seated at a table playing a guitar. Two large flower-filled vases at the sides.
