Shepherds in a Round Dance
Shepherds in a Round Dance by French School. The tapestry depicts a group of people in 15th-century clothing, predominantly dressed in red, blue, and beige, gathered in a circular formation, holding hands, and dancing. The dancers are positioned on a grassy area with flowers and foliage; several white dogs are among them. In the background, a castle and buildings are visible on the horizon, with trees and hills behind. The sky features blue with clouds. The border of the tapestry is dark blue with an orange and beige inner border, adorned with floral patterns. The scene includes trees with flowers and foliage on either side, and two sheep are grazing in the background.
