Nach Jean-Baptiste Huet Manufacture royale d'Aubusson A tapestry with a pastoral scene after Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745 - 1811) Polychrome wool and silk weaving, backed in cotton. Four trophy hangings between five fluted Ionic columns. Below, a landscape setting with native European fauna. With parts added to all outer borders, most noticably above the capitals. Height 258, width 418 cm. Manufacture Royale d'Aubusson, last quarter 18th C. The French painter Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745–1811) designed not only for the tapestry manufactory at Aubusson, but also for the Gobelins and Beauvais manufactories and for the Oberkampf manufactory in Jouy-en-Josas. His pastoral scenes and depictions of animals were exceptionally popular in the late 18th century. After being admitted to the Académie royale in 1769, he received several prestigious commissions for the Palace of Versailles. The presale viewing of this lot will take place exclusively at our Brussels premises, Rue du Grand Cerf 6, from 29 October to 20 November. Literature The preparatory drawing is in the collection of the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York, illustrated in Bertrand/P. Chevalier/D.
