This hand-woven wool Louis XIV style tapestry features Chateau Neuf Saint-Germain, from the series of tapestries 'The Months or Royal Residences', produced in the Gobelins Workshop commissioned by Louis XIV and were designed by Charles le Brun (1619-1690). Two ionic columns frame each side of the distant Le Château Neuf Saint Germain. Below the chateau, it opens onto an inconspicuous view of the Seine river valley while a party of ladies and horsemen ride through the countryside. On the top of the tapestry, a center cartouche displaying the architectural motif of the French Coat of Arms showcasing three gold fleurs-de-lys. Intertwining garland wreaths of winter fruits and gourds hang from the top and wrap around the two ionic columns. In the foreground of the portico, a basket of flowers sits next to the left column and in the middle a female figure drapes fabric with floral garland towards the right column. The French style tapestry is enclosed with a border of flowers, fruits, and ribbons and the Arms of Louis XIV are highlighted on the vertical sides of the border.
