Abstract (en)

Suggests the possibility of a German workshop for the polychrome embroidered panel, ca.1725-1730 (Boston, Museum of Fine Arts) after most likely a French design. Compares its Grotesque ornamentation with similar ones in a bed set, ca.1725, acquired by the Abegg-Stiftung Bern, in Riggisberg.
