"Louis XIV and Mademoiselle de La Vallière (Furnishing Fabric)" is a decorative printed fabric designed by Louis Charles Ruotte around 1815. The fabric features a repeating pattern of a romantic scene with a group of figures, including the King Louis XIV and his mistress Mademoiselle de La Vallière, set amidst an idealized landscape. The fabric is a fine example of the toile de Jouy style, which was popular during the 18th and 19th centuries. This style, characterized by idyllic scenes printed in shades of red, brown, or blue on a white background, was primarily used for upholstery and wall coverings.
