Place of origin |
Tapestry of woven coloured silks and wools on woollen warps, 23 warps to an inch. The design shows a pastoral scene with a boy on a swing, which is suspended from a tree on one side and from a framework on the other, being pushed by a young girl. At their feet is a girl playing with a dog and a boy stroking a lamb. In the foreground is a small waterfall. The whole scene is set in a framework of garlands surrounded by a pale green border on three sides. The upper part appears to be segmented.
