About this work

White linen damask napkin with the Relief of Vienna. Central field: the symmetric pattern shows three scenes: 1 Battle confusion; two men with turbans, lances and oval shields are felled by a man with a plumed hat and an armored warrior with a sword. In the center, a standing figure with raised sword and brandenburgs on his justaucorps. 2 Cannons are aimed at a city gate in the center; next to it a fortress wall, behind which houses and towers are visible. Caption: WEENEN.VIENNE. 3 A field commander on horseback with a turned head gallops towards the center where a crowned double eagle, flanked by an angel with a trumpet, with a laurel wreath. Standing and lying borders: symmetric trophy borders. Corners: double eagle. Around: block border.
