Important 17th-century Brussels' tapestry, The Rest of the Holy Family

Made of wool and silk, presumably depicting the Rest of the Holy Family during the Flight into Egypt.
The composition shows the Virgin Mary, clad in a flowing red and blue cloak, holding the Baby Jesus against a lush landscape featuring waterfalls, rocks and monumental, classically inspired architecture. On the right, a figure, possibly Saint Joseph, leans over a stream.
The central scene is framed by a rich, polychrome floral border, adorned with flowers, fruit and foliage.
