Image description

Embroidery: Orpheus charming the animals, English, silk, metal thread, spangles on satin, about 1630. Perhaps the product of a professional workshop, this is the earliest embroidered picture in the collection. It shows the legendary Orpheus, charming the animals (including a lion, camel, bear and elephant) with his lyre. Above and below Orpheus are the Christian emblems of a flaming heart and a pelican plucking its breast to feed its young. They may indicate a Catholic designer or client.
