The tapestry's intricate design features a scene of the mythological hunt of the Calydonian Boar, and is notable for its depiction of the grandiose fountains and gardens at the Palace of Versailles, a prominent symbol of French power and sophistication. The tapestry's detailed design and vibrant colors reflect the artistic trends of the Baroque period.
