19th c Tapestry - Forêt de Lyons

Somewhere in the forest a chase is already underway, the fox low and running, a bird startled up into the branches, everything held still at the moment before it breaks. Found in a grand maison in Normandy, this 19th-century tapestry is woven in soft golds and faded greens, a dense woodland scene with a château glimpsed far off through the trees. Tapestries like it were made to bring the forest indoors and cover the cold walls of a house in a landscape you could live inside, the whole wall going green from across the room. Sylvie hangs it where it fills a wide wall, the fox and the bird waiting to be found by anyone who looks long enough.
