Tapestry

87 x 58 in.

Mori and Jacobson Collection

This tapestry depicts a pastoral leisure scene in the Rococo style—a popular artistic theme in 18th-century Europe. Tapestries like this were commonly used as wall hangings in wealthy homes, both for decoration and insulation, and often copied designs from famous paintings.

You can see a group of elegantly dressed aristocrats gathered outdoors in a garden setting. They appear to be socializing and enjoying music.
