Autumn and Winter

$1,950.00

Autumn And Winter is after a design by J. B Oudry (1686-1755), inspired by the theme of the Four Seasons. Oudry was the Artist-Director of the Royal Tapestry Manufactory of Beauvais in France, and was appointed Inspector of The Gobelins in Paris in 1733, which produced tapestries for the Royal Court. Oudry raised the quality of production at Beauvais to a pitch of excellence and popularity essential to the survival of a privately-owned but state-subsidized enterprise, catering for noble and wealthy patrons.

This rustic scene has a tranquil atmosphere, in which autumn is symbolised by deer and pheasants with a rich basket of fruit and flowers, while in winter a spaniel encounters a cockerel, and ducks rise from a nearby lake.
