"Four Parts of the World", a design by Jean-Baptiste Huet I, is a printed cotton textile depicting a range of exotic animals and flora in an intricate, repeating pattern. The design was created between 1783 and 1793 and is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The piece exemplifies the popular Toile de Jouy style, a French textile pattern characterized by its intricate, romantic scenes. The vibrant red print against a creamy background creates a visually striking effect, highlighting the detailed imagery of animals like camels, ostriches, and stags, set amidst stylized trees and foliage.
