Bidspirit auction | A tapestry (wall hanging/taffeta) image


A tapestry (wall hanging/taffeta) image in a classical European style, similar to the Belgian (Flemish) or French tapestry that was common from the 16th to the 19th centuries. At that time, it was very common to depict stories from the Bible, with the characters wearing luxurious clothing reminiscent of the European aristocratic fashion of the day rather than authentic Persian attire.
