Lot Essay

This tapestry is a copy of La Lecture of La Tenture de la Vie Seigneuriale illustrated in F. Joubert, La tapisserie médiévale au musée de Cluny, Paris, 1987, pp. 104-121, ill. 96 and 101.

The place of manufacture of the original is not determined. Flanders, Brussels specifically, and France have been recently suggested.

The copying of figures in this sort of relatively simple tapestry was frequent. The gentleman in this tapestry is also found in La Dame à l'Orgue in the Musée des Tapisseries, Angers
