A BEAUVAIS AMUSEMENTS CHAMPÊTRES TAPESTRY AFTER JEAN BAPTISTE OUDRY FRENCH, CIRCA 1780 Woven with Oudry's design 'La Main Chaude' ("Hot Cockles"), figures in a wooded landscape beside a stream and stone folly, an open landscape with chateau visible in the distance, a shepherdess and her flock on the opposite bank, within a scrolling bold acanthus frame border approximately 300cm high, 397cm wide The design for this tapestry panel belonged to a series of "amusements champêtres" devised by Oudry (1686-1755) with one stage of his composition preserved in a drawing in the Stockholm National Museum (No. 2890 / I863). The scene features a game of "hot cockles" where a blindfolded person bent over with his head in the lap of a woman. The other players slapped him on the hand that is tucked behind his back, and he had to guess who it is. When the person guesses correctly who slapped him, that person takes his place. The game is depicted in a contemporary painting (1767-1773) by Fragonard (National Gallery of Art, Washington, 1946.7.6). A version of this tapestry is held in the Harvard Art Museum (1953.114). Condition Report: With wear, marks, repairs and sun fading as per age, handling, use, and cleaning. The whole with a slightly brown tint but retaining some of the more fragile lighter colour tones. Numerous areas of stitch repairs- but with some fragility resulting in some open areas with backing visible. Backing fairly modern. May benefit from remedial conservation prior to installation in domestic setting. Please see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.
