Millefleurs with shepherd and shepherdess (fragment), Mille-fleurs carpet with shepherd's scene. On a dark blue background are stiff flowering plants, closely arranged. Many bluebell flowers in white. In the middle of this field a shepherdess is seated in light red, with spider skirts in the belt, she reaches out a two-jug to a shepherd standing to the right of her, raising her head under the chin. He wears floppy steins of beige, red stockings and blue top stockings, a jerkin with belt on which many utensils hang, he has stored a blue short cloak all the way down to the shoulders: his face is framed by short hair with middle parting. On the left is a lamb with its head raised, and an apple tree in the foreground. Also among the flowers are two birds and at the bottom a sitting and a hopping bunny., anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1500 - c. 1525, ketting, inslag, tapestry, h 235 cm × w 221 cm
