Landscape with ducks and pheasant. unknown c. 1680-1720 Tapestry Dimensions: H 8'3" x W 12' Tapestry Materials/Techniques: unknown Culture: French Weaving Center: Aubusson Ownership History: French & Co. purchased from Mrs. N. L. McCready, received 7/3/1917; sold to A. W. Mellon 10/1/1920. Ducks swimming in river (L) & pheasant on ground (R), amongst flowering plants & trees; castle with fountain in background; bridge & additional buildings in distance (L) (BRD) vases, baskets of flowers & fruits mingled with acanthus leaves, alternating with birds; each border with fleur-de-lys & tied ribbons in sections GCPA 0243556 & GCPA 0243479 form one tapestry, which was cut & photographed in two halves, on different negatives (Soustelle). The lower end of the right border of GCPA 0243479 is from a different tapestry (Campbell). The lower border (GCPA 0243556 & GCPA 0243479)is missing (Soustelle). Stock sheet 4331 states "I. Chateauvert- joining 2 panels, cutting apart, repairing same & cleaning coloring", 4/18/1918. And: "I. Chateauvert- Repairing & Cleaning", 3/10/1920 (Soustelle). GCPA 0243556 bears the number 4334 as stock number on the recto of the photograph; it is the wrong stock number & should read 4331 instead. There is thus one stock number (4331) for both photographs (Soustelle). French & Co. stock sheet in archive, 4331
