About the Item

Spectacular Flemish Verdure tapestry depicting Pysche and the Sleeping Cupid in a flourishing garden, with an architectural landscape on the background. The composition is framed with a wide rim, decorated with traditional scroll motifs, florals, fruits, and birds. The vibrant colors are still strikingly beautiful, despite of natural aging.
