The End of the Hunt

Designer: Unknown designers and cartoonists, Flanders

one of a set of four tapestries, with woodland scene in grove of trees; the huntsmen have made a fire of logs, and one of them stands before it warming his hands, while a second dressed in crimson holds two panting brown hounds on leash. Beyond, a third hunter shields face from fire with left hand, and holds in his right a trophy of the hunt; warp undyed wool, 7½-9 ends per cm., weft dyed wool and silk, 28-40 ends per cm.
