Details
Woven in wool and silk at the Manufacture d’Aubusson, French, 18th century. Conceived after a design by Jean‑Baptiste Oudry (1686–1755), Premier Peintre du Roi and Superintendent of the Manufacture Royale de Beauvais, whose compositional approach informed the Aubusson ateliers in the mid-eighteenth century.
The composition follows Oudry’s verdure manner: a richly wooded landscape animated by exotic and domestic fauna — likely including deer, hounds, birds of plumage, and perhaps a recumbent wolf or boar — arranged with naturalism amid dense foliage, gnarled oaks, and flowering plants worked in a carefully graduated palette. A sky of silvered blue opens above the canopy, lending luminosity and a sense of spatial recession.
The field is framed by a broad, architecturally conceived border with acanthus scrollwork, fruit swags, and floral garlands, possibly enriched with cartouches or mascaron ornament at the corners and centre rails — devices characteristic of the Louis XV decorative vocabulary. The palette favours warm ochres, forest greens, russet browns, and soft blues consistent with Aubusson weaving of the period, in contrast to the sharper chromatic intensity associated with the Gobelins.
At 2.8 by 3.4 metres, the scale places this tapestry among the larger examples of its type, conceived for the principal reception rooms of an aristocratic hôtel particulier or country seat.
- Dimensions: 280 cm x 340 cm
- Provenance: The Astor Collection, New York; then by descent
- Condition: Some old tears, previously restored (ICS Sydney). Velcro to the back to hold it up
- Comparable examples: Christie’s, London, 6 June 2019, lot 47; Sotheby’s, Paris, 22 November 2017, lot 312
