This compact extract from the celebrated "Tentures des Indes" series captures exotic fauna and flora from Dutch colonial territories in a focused composition that distills the essence of tropical abundance. Originally woven at the Gobelins during the 17th century and highly successful throughout the 18th century, this interpretation presents colonial natural diversity through European artistic lens. The 110 x 150 cm portrait format provides intimate scale for appreciating detailed botanical and zoological elements that fascinated European audiences unfamiliar with tropical ecosystems. This oasis imagery represents the period's artistic documentation of distant lands, where unfamiliar species were transformed into decorative art that satisfied both scientific curiosity and aesthetic appreciation. The piece appeals to collectors of colonial art and natural history enthusiasts who value how Dutch textile traditions preserved and interpreted global biodiversity through sophisticated weaving techniques.
