Tapestry - 47.5 cm - 36.7 cm

Old embroidery on a silk background, work from the late 19th century, illustrating a lively landscape in a picturesque spirit: river, stone bridge, ruins and a figure accompanied by animals in a leafy setting.

The execution in polychrome silk threads testifies to careful workmanship, with a refined search for depth and a nuanced rendering of the planes. The tones subtly patinated by time fully participate in the charm of this decorative composition.

Dimensions visible: approximately 30.5 x 22.2 cm
Dimensions with frame: approximately 47.5 x 36.7 cm

Presentation under an antique mount (about 3.1 x 2 cm), in a wooden frame presumably later, with a double mat on the back.

Characteristic work of decorative textile productions from the late 19th century, appreciated for its finesse of execution and evocative character.
