This tapestry depicts Jan Malderus, Bishop of Antwerp, created by the Imperial Russian Tapestry Manufactory in Saint Petersburg between 1785 and 1799. The tapestry is a fine example of the high-quality work produced by this famous manufactory during the late 18th century. The meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of the bishop's attire and features are characteristic of the manufactory's style. This piece is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
