On the right, behind the pond, we can see the mill pond and, in the distance, surrounded by a high wall, the abbey and church of Rouge-Cloître. The Knight is Jean de Daillon, an officer and advisor to the French King Charles VII. The conquest of Orleans with Jeanne d’Arc made him famous. He carries the banner of the wolf. The original was woven in Flanders towards the end of the 15th century. This reproduction is a silkscreen print, hand printed in a french manufacturer workshops Bring the charm of this charming scene into your space with this finely crafted work of art." See less
