Description
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. At home in a formal study, library, or period-inspired gallery space. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
