This significant French Toile de Jouy panel, dating to the early 19th century (1800–1825), is a remarkably preserved example of copperplate-printed cotton. Measuring 29 inches by 49 inches (74 cm x 124 cm), the textile features a sophisticated repeat pattern rendered in a monochromatic mauve—a color that reached its peak popularity at the beginning of the 19th century. The panel is historically documented with the stamps "F.que.d'A HENRY a Rouen" and "des. Et. Grx de Buques," identifying its manufacture in the renowned textile centers of northern France.

The imagery consists of classic pastoral and village scenes, including families gathering outside cottages, musicians performing for children, and laborers tending to livestock. Small vignettes of sailing ships and arched stone bridges further enrich the landscape, creating a comprehensive narrative of idealised rural life. The cotton remains in good, unfaded condition with only minor watermarks and a single patched area at the bottom left-hand corner, attesting to its careful preservation over two centuries.
