Chevalier and P.- F. Bertrand, Les Tapisseries d'Aubusson et de Felletin, Paris, 1988, p. 122In our opinion in good to hangable condition- The maker's mark has been restored in a wrong manner. The mark should read: 'M.R.DAVBVSSON.F.GRELLET'. The weft pieces are mismatched during restoration.- The blue outer slip is renewed to the bottom part, with a re-integration of the original mark.- The silk weft part has largely disappeared and needs revision- With old restorations all over the tapestry
