This tapestry is typical of the designs by Jean-Baptiste Pillement (24 May 1728 – 26 April 1808). A French painter born in Lyon, he moved to Paris where he worked at the Gobelins factory. He later worked in Spain and England. Pillement's illustrations are a mixture of fantastic birds, flora & fauna, large human figures and chinoiserie. His designs were used by engravers and decorators on porcelain and pottery, but also on textiles, wallpaper and silver. He produced many cartoons for the tapestry industry - Manufacture Royale d'Aubusson. Typical of his tapestry designs are those with exotic birds, trees and Chinese temples.
