Also known as 'verdure' tapestry, this rare and brilliant example relates closely to recorded 16th century Mille-fleurs tapestries attributed to the manufactory of Enghien. By comparison, the use of blue and green colour palette and similar stylised floral motifs on a dark background can be found on a 'verdure avec animaux' tapestry in the Rijksmuseum (inv. BK-16114), with a mark for the town of Enghien. Other examples would be the 'verdure avec animaux' tapestry in the 'Stadtische Kunstsammlungen' of Augsburg (inv. DMIII 12), and two others at the Palais Episcopal de Côme, also bearing the marks for the Enghien town. Further examples can also be found at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Musée de Cluny in Paris.
The continuous repetitive or stylised mille-fleur pattern ground emerged from the mid 15th century, testyfying a love of nature, which carried on well into the mid 16th century. As seen in some of the museum examples mentioned above, figures and animals were sometimes part of the harmonious decor and these uniterrupted panels were especially popular in the second half of the 15th century, where workshops dedicated only to verdure tapestry thrived, Enghien being one of the most successful.
Research through important household inventories found that nobles and kings had rooms ('chambres de tapisseries') with walls covered in these uninterrupted tapestries with no borders, emerging themselves completely in a naturalistic setting.
