The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black fabric with white design. The design shows a repeating pattern featuring various scenes and motifs, including people, animals, trees, plants, and foliage. The scenes are scattered across the fabric in no particular order. There are depictions of birds, deer, a peacock, people sitting or standing near urns or baskets, hanging baskets, flowers, ferns, palm trees, a swan, a goat, and other plants. The design has a classic and elegant feel to it. The fabric appears to be a type of toile de Jouy. Title: Piece by Jean-Baptiste Huet I.
