Limited edition of 54/250. The composition depicts a richly colored arrangement of birds, foliage, and seasonal fruits including pumpkins and flowers set within a dense decorative landscape. The imagery is rendered in vibrant tones of blue, yellow, red, and orange against a dark ground, with stylized forms and layered botanical elements typical of Lelong’s textile designs.

Lelong was known for producing detailed tapestry compositions that combined natural subjects with decorative pattern and color. His work reflects the continued tradition of French textile design in the late 20th century while incorporating modern graphic elements. A signed limited-edition tapestry such as this offers collectors an example of Lelong’s textile work and the revival of decorative wall tapestries during the 1970s.
