Family of Darius before Alexander. Le Brun, Charles (French, 1619-1690) (designed after) [painter] c. 1720 Tapestry Dimensions: H 9'11" x W 12' Tapestry Materials/Techniques: unknown Culture: French Weaving Center: Aubusson Ownership History: French & Co. received from Mrs. S. G. Rosenbaum, 2/11/1941; returned 2/16/1954. Inscriptions: City mark in lower guard, right: / ... AUBUSSON.../ Alexander accompanied by Hephaestion, both in armor with plumed helmets (L), stand before the family of Darius; family members, with child, kneeling, some prostrate before Alexander under tent; additional tents with guard in background (L) (BRD) picture-frame border with stylized scallop motifs centered with acanthus leaves & superimposed on trellis ground with flower heads The lower guard features, besides the AUBUSSON city mark, additional inscriptions. However, they are faint & hard to decipher. It is probable that a weaver's signature appears on the lower guard.
