This tapestry, created by the Beauvais workshop between 1775 and 1795, was designed to be a ceiling panel for a grand bed, known as a "lit à la duchesse en impériale." The tapestry is a delicate work of art featuring a central oval motif surrounded by a laurel wreath and decorative floral designs. This type of woven textile was highly sought after during the Rococo and Neoclassical periods, reflecting a taste for elaborate and refined furnishings.
