Pierre Frey AU BORD DU LAC

This tapestry called verdure is typical of Aubusson productions of the 17th and 18th centuries. The composition places the spectator in an undergrowth at the edge of a forest. A gap in the center directs the eye towards a landscape inhabited by birds. In the distance, one can make out a castle on a promontory. The beauty and the relief of this work are authentically retranscribed, thanks to the printing on straw with metallic reflections.
