Woven at the prestigious Gobelins Manufactory in France, this masterpiece bears witness to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision of its creators. Under the skillful direction of Michel Audran and his son Jean Audran fils, both esteemed figures in French art history, this tapestry breathes life into Charles-Antoine Coypel's iconic painting. The collaboration between Claude Audran III, Jean-Baptiste Belin de Fontenay fils, Alexandre-Francois Desportes, and Valande resulted in a harmonious design that complements Coypel's original work.
