Tapestry - 47.5 cm - 36.7 cm

Antique embroidery on a silk ground, late 19th-century work, illustrating a lively landscape in a picturesque spirit: river, stone bridge, ruins and a character accompanied by animals in a leafy setting.

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

Visible dimensions: 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 apparently later, with a double mat on the back.

The silk background shows age-related alterations, notably in the upper part as well as in the lake area. Presence of light stains and signs of the passage of time.

A characteristic work of late 19th-century decorative textile productions, appreciated for its fine execution and evocative character.
