The tapestry portrays an elegant group of 18th-century figures in a romantic garden landscape, accompanied by graceful cherubs, lush trees, flowers and distant mountains. The soft palette of sage green, olive, dusty pink, cream and muted blue gives the piece a particularly charming and refined antique atmosphere. The lower part is decorated with abundant foliage and flowers, while the composition is framed by a rich floral and ornamental border. The title “L’embarquement pour Cythère” is woven into the lower right-hand section.
