The setting is that of an enclosed garden or a luxurious interior space, with precise details of plants, trees, fountains, or furniture, typical of Renaissance or late medieval tapestries. The attention to the textures and patterns of the fabrics is very pronounced. This tapestry, a replica of the original late 15th or early 16th century Flanders tapestry, was made by hand screen printing by hand in renowned Artis Flora workshops .
