Jacques-Nicolas Juillard (d. 1790), who studied under François Boucher, succeeded Jean-Joseph Dumons in 1755 as peintre des manufactures d'Aubusson et de Felletin. His contract specified that he was to supply the workshops with a set of six designs for tapestries annually. Surprisingly, however, none of his designs for Gobelins, Beauvais or Aubusson have as yet been categorically identified, although it is known that he supplied at least thirteen series between 1755 and 1782 and continued to design tapestries until 1789.

A tapestry of identical design albeit wider, woven by Pierre Dumonteil, is illustrated in D. + P. Chevalier, and P.-F. Bertrand, Les Tapisseries d'Aubusson et de Felletin, Paris, 1988, p. 148.
