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. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
