This 17th-century tapestry, "Music," was crafted by the Savonnerie Manufactory in France, renowned for their intricate designs and high-quality materials. The tapestry features a central motif of a stylized sunburst surrounded by elaborate floral and scrollwork, indicative of the Rococo style. The intricate details, including the four corners featuring depictions of the muses, showcase the craftsmanship of the Savonnerie workshops. The tapestry is a prime example of French Baroque art, capturing the opulence and grandeur favored by the French aristocracy during the 17th century.
