About the Item
Add charm and color to any wall with this elegant antique Aubusson drawing cartoon. Created in the tapestry town of Aubusson, France circa 1820, the gouache on paper is set in a carved giltwood frame under protective glass. The hand-painted pastoral composition features a young shepherdess seated among her flock, holding a flower and crook beneath a floral swag and draped canopy, all rendered in soft hues of green, rose, cream, and gold.
Tapestry cartoons served as full-scale models for woven works of art, guiding weavers in translating painted scenes into wool and silk. Each color was meticulously matched, and the weaver’s craftsmanship determined the final texture and tone. Aubusson, renowned since the 15th century and designated “Manufacture Royale” by Louis XIV in 1665, became synonymous with these masterful creations.
This finely detailed example, with its Romantic pastoral theme and original hand-painted surface, embodies the artistry and grace of early 19th-century French decorative design. The piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with rich, timeworn patina and minor restoration visible on the surface. Wire on the back for easy installation.
