“from the educational toys for medical professionals series. it’s clear these cost a fair amount of money and while they may have some value and use, they’re really just present to reassure patients that the person treating them really is a doctor or acceptable variant. see also: cheaply framed degrees and certificates, lab coats, stainless steel side tables and the faint smell of disinfectant.”

“This tapestry in wool and silk is from the atelier of Jean de la Croix (active 1662-1712), after designs by Charles Le Brun (1619-90) and others. It was made in the Gobelins Workshops, Paris in the late ate 1600s.
It appears in the V&A exhibition Baroque: Style in the Age of Magnificence.
This tapestry is from a series representing twelve of Louis XIV’s residences at different months of the year. It shows the king and his court hunting in the grounds of his château at Vincennes. Baroque palace grounds were often designed for hunting, an important royal ritual. Laid on the balustrade are objects from Louis’ treasury, with animals and birds from his menagerie.
V&A Museum no. T.371-1977
