- Tapestry depicting a verdant scene enlivened by a wading bird, woven in the 18th century from an Aubusson workshop.

- This tapestry, a Verdure (Greenery), presents a lush landscape with a majestic tree rising to the full height of the tapestry. Its luxuriant, vibrant foliage is adorned with red flowers/fruits, adding vivid touches that are very pleasing to the eye. This landscape is enhanced by a body of water in the foreground, which a wading bird seems to have chosen as its hunting ground. The verdant scene is enlivened by another bird higher up, in full flight.
