Shepherd and Shepherdess
Framed rectangular tapestry with a gold and black ornate frame. The scene depicts a landscape with a reclining man on the right side, wearing a brown jacket and blue shorts. The man has dark hair and black shoes. On the left side, a man sits on a rock or stool, wearing a red and orange robe and holding a shepherd's staff; he is surrounded by approximately 14 white sheep. A white horse with a blue outline is to his left. In the background, there are trees, hills, and a house on the right side. The sky features blue with white clouds. Two large trees are present; one with green leaves and yellow branches, and another with green leaves, yellow branches, and red berries. Flowers are scattered throughout the bottom of the tapestry.
