Huntsmen in a Landscape (formerly called the Crocker Tapestry )

Dominated by a moated lordly residence, taken from a printed source, set in parkland across which chases a hunt, points of comparison, coincidence or correspondence of thematic material are minimal. The tapestry carries no mark which might identify the weaver or his city, and no indication of the first owner. It has no sixteenth century, or indeed later, provenance. The only motifs in common with work called Sheldon, but not exclusively seen in such work, are the small lion heads enclosed by strapwork and the mounted horseman, features also found in tapestries from continental workshops. Colouring, size and design have little resemblance to the commonly found products classified as 'Sheldon'; scale and competence of execution are all superior. Although the dealers and discoverers, S.Franses of London, at first claimed the tapestry as Sheldon work, it has since been exhibited without this label, Tudor and Stuart Textiles 1485-1688 , Franses New York, 10 December 2008-20 February 2009. The tapestry is owned by the Metropolitan Museum, New York, published in Bulletin of the Metropolitan Museum of Art , Fall 2010, p. 26-27 . http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/120056897
