About the Item

This enchanting 17th-century tapestry captures a joyful bacchanal of children, a subject highly prized in Baroque decorative arts. Inspired by the elegant models of François Duquesnoy and the celebrated “Children Gardeners” designs of Charles Le Brun, the scene presents playful putti weaving flower garlands and leading a goat through a serene landscape—an allegory of spring, renewal, and innocent delight. Set against a picturesque backdrop of mountains, a lake, and a fortified town, the composition is framed by a richly ornamented border filled with symbols of abundance and play. Remarkably well preserved, the tapestry retains bright, vivid colors and offers both historical significance and enduring decorative charm, making it an exceptional addition to a refined collection.
