Description
This tapestry belongs to a series dedicated to Ovid's Metamorphoses. As in the case of the other tapestries in this series, the composition closely resembles printed Ovid illustrations, especially Virgil Solis's woodcut in the Metamorphoses Ovidii of 1563. The color scheme, figure type and landscape style are consistent with tapestries produced in Oudenaarde in the second half of the 17th century.
