Autumn from a set of The Seasons 1700 - 1715

"Autumn," a tapestry woven between 1700 and 1715 by John Chabanex, depicts a bustling harvest scene. Figures work diligently in a rural landscape, gathering grapes and tending to livestock. This tapestry, one of a set depicting the four seasons, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. The tapestry's scale, at 8 feet 9 inches by 12 feet 11 inches, contributes to the immersive experience of the scene, drawing the viewer into the midst of the autumnal activities.
