View of a Palace Garden with a Central Pond Surrounded by Classical Architecture (Tapestry or Stage Design?)

Daniel Marot the Elder French

Not on view

Design for a so-called garden theater dominated by classical architecture in the foreground. The end of two arcades and two bent trees form the coulisses to a view of garden with a large pond. Several people are depicted sitting by the water or even fishing. A group of five has ventured out on the water in a small boat. In the background two rows of trees lead the eye towards a small building characterized by niches with statues. Colored washes in grey, green and red tints have been added to enliven the scene.
