Catalogue Note
The design of the present tapestry is unusual in that the figures are in the typical style of the designs of David Teniers the Younger and the so-called Teniers tapestries, but are placed not in one of the rugged provincial settings most commonly seen in those designs, but rather in an expansive landscape featuring an elegant formal garden.
