792—Renaissance Tapestry Brussels, Sixteenth Century
NIOBE IN TEARS. Niobe stands about centre of a flowered fore-
ground before a temple sheltered by woods. She wears voluminous
robes and is weeping for her lost children. Two attendants, maidens,
are behind her. In the immediate foreground are two diminutive war-
riors, wearing classic garb, the one at left mounted on a charger. The
composition is finished with delightful compartmentcd border, displaying
classic figures within finely arched niches, overgrown with varied vines of
flowers and clustered fruit, which interrupts the figures and flanks varied
cartouches at crown and foot, which are occupied by birds. The whole
is woven in very varied harmonious colors.
