This is one tapestry that is capable of transforming any room with the sheer energy and power that it exudes.
The pattern of the leopard woven onto it seems to bring out the best qualities of the animal, wile highlighting its immense, yet carefully controlled power. The stark, contrasting colors, attention drawn to the animal's burning eyes and almost bleak landscape is bound to infuse a sense of awe and grandeur in the viewer’s mind.
The highlight of the tapestry is indeed the figure of the animal. The fabric seems to absorb some of the energy that is hidden within the animal and emits it to fill in the room that houses it. Animals and birds have always been favorite subjects of tapestry weavers. That delight in expressing the forms of a beast finds its culmination in the beautifully executed leopard.
The animal’s bright, piercing eyes can often be seen as the focal point of the art work—a point the simultaneously concentrates and emits the animal’s raw power.
Leopard measures 42 x 35 inches.
