Louis XV Aubusson Garden Tapestry
An amusing Louis XV Aubusson garden tapestry showing a garden with open door in which a young girl sits on a stone bench being courted by three young gentlemen, while two further ladies tend to the fruit of the garden and with a watering can and wheelbarrow in the foreground. The open door perhaps symbolises Loss of Innocence
