Winter: Skating Scene

Gobelins Manufactory

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a tapestry depicting a winter scene with people ice skating. The scene shows a large group of people dressed in 16th-century clothing, with many wearing red, blue, yellow, and white, gathered on a frozen body of water. Some are ice skating, while others are standing or sitting. A few people are engaged in activities such as holding hands, bending down, or playing. The background features a large castle or palace on the right side and a village on the left side, with bare trees and hills. The sky is blue with clouds. The tapestry has a thin black border around the edges.
