Prudence from Los Honores, tapestry after Bernard van Orley
A richly woven tapestry in wool and silk shows a crowded courtyard of robed figures beneath a golden inscribed border and an architectural canopy. Figures in blue, red and cream gather around a central throne, with a winged figure above and a column-lined setting of arches and fountains.
