Description: This is an early 18th century tapestry depicting a Roman figure on a chariot.This piece shows a similar subject to the tapestries hanging in Chaumont sur Loire in France named "la Tenture des Planetes et des Jours" that was woven around 1570 in the Brussels workshops and acquired in 1889 by Prince Henri-Amédée de Broglie, in order to decorate the walls of the Council Chamber.The main theme of the series is astrology. The iconography is organized according to a pattern common to all the pieces.
