This tapestry, "The Arms of William and Mary," was created between 1694 and 1700 by Daniel Marot the Elder, a renowned French artist. It depicts the royal coat of arms of William III and Mary II, showcasing intricate details and symbolic imagery. Two figures, likely representing strength and wisdom, stand on either side of the shield, emphasizing the power and authority of the monarchs.
