An 18th century Aubusson tapestry panel (c. 1720 France)

216.00 cm wide   223.00 cm high

85.04 inches wide  87.80 inches high

From the series Les Jeux d'Enfants. Designs by the painter Michel Corneille the Elder (1602-1664) for a set of tapestries entitled Les Jeux d’Enfants were first woven at the Gobelins workshops from 1685. It is likely that Evrard Jabach, an art collector appointed Director of the Royal Tapestry Factory of Aubusson in 1670, inspired the weavers of Aubusson and Felletin to adopt the theme. The Musée du Petit Palais in Paris has two tapestries of the set, La Danse and Le Saute-Mouton, woven around 1720, which are signed by the Aubusson ateliers of Vallenet and Maingonnat respectively.
