This tapestry depicting two birds, likely a pheasant and a partridge, within a Rococo-style floral border was created by Beauvais in 1754-1756. The intricate design and delicate rendering of the birds in the scene highlight the skill of the weavers at the Beauvais workshop, known for their high-quality tapestries. This artwork, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides a glimpse into the decorative arts of the 18th century and the craftsmanship of the Beauvais workshop.
