A German pastoral tapestry cartoon fragment

Schloss Wiederau, situated south of Leipzig, is one of the few Baroque castles preserved in this area of Saxony where many Historic buildings were sacrificed to open-pit mining in DDR times. The castle was built between 1697 and 1705.
The decoration scheme was baroque, the frescoes and ceilings were painted by Giovanni Francesco Marchini (1672-1745) in the first quarter of the 18th century. The present fragments would have probably been part of a complete wall panelling.
