This charming late-17th-century English tapestry—from the renowned Mortlake workshop—depicts a lively bacchanale of children gathered in a lush landscape. A group of putti weave flowers, crown a small goat, and play among blooming foliage, echoing models by François Duquesnoy and Charles Le Brun that greatly influenced European decorative arts of the period.
Set before a serene lake and fortified architecture, the scene is framed by a colorful border of garlands, musical instruments, and symbols of abundance. The tapestry retains beautifully fresh tones and remains in good overall condition, with only minor wear typical for silk of this age. A delightful example of English Baroque weaving, it captures the grace, humor, and pastoral imagination that defined Mortlake’s finest tapestries.
