A mounted military commander leads troops across a verdant landscape in this 18th-century tapestry depicting the Capture of Lille, with a fortified city rising in the distance beneath stormy skies. Ornate floral borders in deep reds and golds frame the central scene, while hand-colored engraving techniques render the figures and architecture in warm ochres, greens, and pale blues. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
