The Walk

Tapestry part of the "Vegetables" series, exhibited in the Santa Catalina Room, so named for the lushness of the trees and vegetation. The tapestry, "Walk on Foot," is framed by a leafy tree and plants that hide the facade of a palace with a grand staircase, guarded by two amphorae that serve as bases for small Japanese trees. A woman looks out from the staircase. In front, a fountain with jets formed by two children. They are admired by another woman whose tunic is carried by a child and accompanied by a maid with an open parasol.
