Very beautiful, detailed and important piece, a rare depiction of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter.
Late 19th-century wool-work tapestry with a mahogany frame.

Bestowal of the Order of Saint Michael in the name of Louis XIV by the Spanish ambassador. This very high French decoration has been awarded to only a few non-French individuals. Michiel received it because of his victory in the Four Days' Battle. The French had seen that victory as a skilled lesson by a great master. The English saw it as something else.

Zeer mooi gedetailleerd en belangrijk stuk ,zeldzaam voorstelling van admiraal michiel de ruyter.
Laat 19e eeuws wool werk tapestry met een mahony omlijsting.

Toekenning orde van St Michel uit naam van Lodewijk XIV door de Spaanse ambassadeur. Deze zeer hoge Franse onderscheiding is slechts enkele niet-Franse personen toegekend. Michiel kreeg hem vanwege zijn overwinning in de Vierdaagse Zeeslag. Deze overwinning hadden de Fransen gezien als een kundige les door een groot meester. De Engelsen zagen dat iets anders.
