Tapestry depicting the return of Orestes and Iphigenia to Aulis, carrying the image of Artemis. On the right, a high beach built with towers and fortifications, where the inhabitants have run out cheering. In the foreground, priests (?) adorned with laurel wreaths and ... of the land welcome Orestes and Pylades with bowed heads. The heroes are adorned with plumed turbans and slashed hats, with a train hanging over their shoulders carried by a page. Following them is Iphigenia with a laurel wreath and a blue train, carried by a maid; her retinue stands on a lower part of the beach. In the background, the image of Artemis with a crescent moon, arrow, and bow is visible. In the distance, the tops of ship masts can be seen. Also here, strong light falling from the left, contrasting with deep shadows. Border as A.
