Napkin with a Hunting Scene

Linen damask tablecloth with a hunting scene. Central field: the symmetrically doubled but incomplete pattern shows, from bottom to top, five scenes: 1. A hunter with a spear. 2. On either side of a hunting lodge with towers, a tree and a kneeling hunter shooting at birds, accompanied by a dog. 3. A hexagonal water basin with a spouting fountain and two tazza's on either side, a lying stag and hind, a leaping unicorn, half a tree and birds, including a flying peacock. 4. An Amazon on horseback with a standing collar and gathered balloon sleeves, with a falcon on her fist, leaping toward the center where a palm tree stands. 5. A hunter with a dog on a leash blows a hunting horn; under a tree are a boar and a hare. Standing borders: single vines with flowers and birds; outside, a block border. The tablecloth has no horizontal borders.
