In the second (No. 48) a group oj peasants sits and stands about under a tree in a meadow, in which cattle and goats wander. In the background is a farmhouse. These tapestries after Teniers are typical of his illustrations of life among the peasants and of his decorative and romantic yet realistic landscapes. They are in weaving and color of the best quality of examples of this type. Triumph of Diana No. 37 CATALOGUE 47 MORTLAKE, LATE XVII CENTURY PEASANTS IN A LANDSCAPE: A group of peasants ha...s stopped by the wayside in a mountainous landscape. Above is a shield bearing the inscription "locatur in Parvis sorts ut cum Magna Mercede Fallat" The cartoon is after Teniers. The Mortlake renditions of these cartoons, which were borrowed from Flanders, have a clarity and sharpness that give them marked distinction. The towering mountain landscape is really impressive. The rendition of the water is unusually realistic without any loss of decorative interest. The translation of water into a woven design is one of the most difficult problems of the craft.
