The Royal Museum of Art and History in Brussels owns a comparable tapestry which, like the tapestry on offer, has large-leaved bushes in the foreground, including the striking and very similar thistle vine. This tapestry is attributed to the workshop of Albert Goeman (1680-1761). Cf. Guy Delmarcel & Ingrid de Meûtre: The Cinquantenaire tapestries. The collections of the Royal Museums of Art and History. Brussels 2023, no. 88, p. 338/339.
