"Tapestry Panel With Frolicking Fauns And Putti. Brussels, Early 18th Century. "

Tapestry panel with frolicking fauns and putti. Brussels, early 18th century.

A tapestry panel with frolicking fauns and putti.

Brussels, early 18th century.

Measures 260 x 185cm.

The child standing in the tree is reenacting the mischiefs of the famous Manneken-pis fountain in Brussels, although this has been amusingly ‘censored’ in the 19th century.

This tapestry panel with exceptionally well-preserved colours presents a scene on the pleasures of drunkenness.

The tapestry is in good condition with old restorations and has recently been professionally cleaned and conserved.
