This expansive Verdure tapestry fragment, dating from the 18th century (1700–1800), is a lush example of French landscape weaving. The scene depicts a central pastoral figure—a young flautist leaning against a staff—standing on a verdant riverbank. He is accompanied by a slender deer grazing nearby and a sheep in the foreground, set against a backdrop of towering, densely foliated trees and a shimmering distant waterway.
The textile is expertly crafted primarily in wool, which provides a rich, matte texture to the foliage and earth, while silk threads are used to render the sky and specific highlights, adding a subtle luminosity to the composition. Although it is a fragment of a once larger work, it has been skillfully preserved and mounted on a heavy cotton backing for stability. Measuring 59 inches by 34.5 inches (150 cm x 88 cm) including a 2-inch mounted border, the tapestry remains in very good condition.
