Tapestry. Tapestry embroidered in wool and silk on linen canvas. In the upper part, within a decorative cartouche, is the bust of a nobleman with a mustache and shaved hair, wearing a zupan and delia. Around it are dense scrolls of large leaves, flowers, and fruit. Among them, a falcon is depicted in the center. No border.
