A fine 17th century Flemish tapestry
‘February’, from a series of the Months woven in the workshops of Everaert Leyniers III (1597-1680) after the designs of Jérôme de Potter. In silk and wool, the tapestry shows the labours of this winter month, including woodcutting and gathering and the pruning of a tree that grows over a pergola, in a wide rural landscape while an old lady warms herself by a fire and huntsmen and hounds encircle a wolf before a distant town and mountainous horizon; within a complete border of trailing flowers and leaves.
