AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Marked 'Boilly 1791' at the bottom left, this tapestry depicts, in an aristocratic 18th-century interior, a woman instructing a young boy. It appears to be Louise Sébastienne Gely and her stepson Antoine Danton. Over time, the original colors have faded, but they can be faintly seen in negative on the back. The object has spent a long time in Argentina, from which it has recently returned.
