"Fragment Of A Squirrel Tapestry, Brussels Workshop, Mid-16th Century"

- Fragment of a tapestry, weaving from a Brussels workshop around the middle of the 16th century. This weaving depicts a landscape with lush vegetation in which a squirrel seems to be hiding, watching for the presence of men; a leg is visible in the center of the upper part.

- This fragment is similar to the production of Brussels workshops from the middle of the 16th century. This is evidenced by the theme, the careful design, the beautiful fineness of the weaving (7 threads/cm) which produces a supple textile, the materials used (wool and silk) and the colors whose freshness suggests the use of colorfast fabrics.

- Dimensions: Height: 42.5 cm, Width: 112 cm
