    I bought this at an estate sale along with another longer tapestry. They came in a pair. I uploaded a picture of one and what came up was Paris France and Gobelins. I hope that maybe someone may be a little familiar with the style at least or if they are dressed in Royal clothing? The stitching on the back is very irregular and not uniform by any means. And I find interesting the color on the back side is so gorgeous. Interesting even more is when looking at the picture behind the people, within the scene, is actually a body of water reflecting things in the scene. Also, what seems to be a fountain with a serpent just next to it eluding it is water. And just about center in the distant view of the scene is what seems to be a ship but it is just barely visible and one can make out a flag flying on the ship. It is incredible to me how there seems to be a picture within the picture. Beautiful. Tapestries are amazing in their own right. Thank you kindly for any opinion on this.

    I have optimized my photos to a lower file compression, zip filed then one at a time and still, I cannot upload on this forum. Please if anyone has a suggestion. I have followed the instruction on how to do this on this site and still I cannot upload.

    Hi Crysta!

    If you are using your phone, email them to yourself.

    I then crop them in a photo app, but I believe @I Need Help, chooses Medium when sending and that seems to work for size.
