"Brussels Tapestry Follower Of Lodewijk Van Schoor Early 18th Century"
Beautiful tapestry woven in wool and silk depicting a gathering of nymphs near a fountain in a park, first half of the 18th century, in the style of Lodewijk van Shoor. This beautiful tapestry presents a gathering of young women or nymphs near a fountain. The delicate gestures and expressions of these young women, dressed in flowing, draped garments, lend the scene a certain sensuality, typical of Lodewijk van Shoor's work. Nature is "wild" and forms a setting for the figures. A beautiful and rich border features motifs of bouquets, vases of flowers, and scrolling foliage. A lovely tapestry with a charming subject, it has retained beautiful, vibrant colors and its original border. It is in very good condition, although with some wear consistent with age, and its proportions are excellent.
