Sixteenth-century Flanders tapestry panel. Technical characteristics : Wool and silk. Dimensions: Height: 200cm; Width: 320cm. Against the backdrop of an exceptional French garden, complete with fountain, in the shadow of a distant château, we witness the meeting or reunion of two noble ladies dressed in rich finery. Two ladies-in-waiting, also richly attired, witness the scene, one brandishing what appears to be an olive branch. This meeting is intended to seal an alliance between two kingdoms (?) and thus guarantee peace. The scene takes place in an inextricable undergrowth, at the edge of a centuries-old forest, under the eye of a majestic peacock and another perched bird. Two small rabbits brighten up the scenery. Braided border. (Restoration and natural oxidation).
