Condition
The contrasts are slightly too much on illustration.
The central ground is more pink (rasberry) than red. There are several traces of patched restorations and various minor restorations everywhere. The external (outside) borders are later. Overall condition is pretty fine for this mid 16th century tapestry.

Catalogue Note
Ce genre de décor se développa en Italie sous l'influence de Raphaël avant de s'étendre en Flandres. Cette tapisserie "d'entre-fenêtres" à décor de grotesques et arabesques est directement inspirée des dessins de Cornelis Bos.
