The Indiscretion

The Indiscretion tapestry is from one of the famous scenes inspired by the compositions by Fragonard (1732-1806). Full of vitality and charm, this tapestry is representative of the period style from the late 18th century. Here we see a lady and her courtier enjoying an afternoon in the garden, with an onlooker peeping into the scene. The delicate details in the foliage and border can be easily seen. This style of tapestry is reminiscent of the verdure style of tapestries from this time, and in this case is looking at the daily lives of the nobles. This tapestry “The Indiscretion” is backed with lining and a tunnel for easy hanging.
