Tapestry ~ Terrace at Sainte-Adresse~ by Claude Monet
From Artist Claude Monet, this is a beautiful Tapestry Wall Hanging of his famous painting titled " Terrasse à Sainte-Adresse (1867) "
Terrace at Sainte Adresse by Monet expresses all the euphoria of a fine summer's day. The red of the gladioli contrasts with the blue of the sea, specked with sailing boats, and in the distance are silhouetted the big streamers making for the harbour at Le Havre.
Four people are relaxing on the terrace. In the foreground are Adolphe Monet and his half-sister, both seen from the back; they are sitting in garden chairs contemplating the scene stretching out before them.
By the balustrade stands Claude's cousin Jeanne Lecadre, wearing a pale-colored dress and chatting to a young man in a top hat. Peace and beauty reign supreme, reflecting the holiday mood prevailing in Sainte Adresse.
Details include:
- Measures 99cmW x 78cmL. (including fringe)
- Jacquard-woven (not a printed design)
- Polyester, Cotton, Acrylic Tapestry Fabric.
- Tapestry is Brand New.
This is a beautifully finished tapestry fully backed with green velveteen and includes a rod pocket for hanging on the wall. The green fringe is rich and silky. Photographs do not do this justice.
