The composition features a finely rendered figural subject, outlined in dark wool against a warm, aged ground of golden ochre and muted teal tones. The drawing style, scale, and palette are characteristic of Flemish workshops known for narrative and allegorical scenes produced for aristocratic interiors.

The surface displays the honest wear expected of a textile over 300 years old, including areas of softening, minor losses, and historic repairs. These elements enhance the visual depth and authenticity rather than detract from its presence. The fragment has been professionally backed with neutral linen and finished with a concealed zipper and down insert, making it suitable for decorative use while preserving the integrity of the original textile.

A rare and decorative accent piece, ideal for collectors of antique textiles or designers seeking a true historic element for layered interiors. Works beautifully on sofas, armchairs, or beds as a one-of-a-kind statement pillow. See less
