An extremely fine needlework picture depicting The Judgement of Solomon, worked in silk, wool and raised metal brocade on a part painted silk ground. Probably English, first quarter 18th century, 14 ? in. x 20in. 37cm. x 51cm. Very slight shattering to silk ground lower edge left, upper edge centre, right edge centre. Inscription along base: FEMINEAS DIRIMIT REGIS PRUDENTIA LITES JUSTICIA. Framed and glazed. This fine needlework is closely based on the engraving by Boetius A. van Bolswert after the painting by Sir Peter Paul Rubens now in Copenhagen, the only significant difference being the courtyard scene in the background; the engraving was published by Visscher, Amsterdam, in 1660 in a collection of biblical engravings after paintings which, like the earlier and better known set by Gerard de Jode, Thesaurus Sacrarum Historiarum Veteris Testamenti, was subsequently widely used in a variety of applied arts but most particularly in tapestry and needlework, both professional and domestic.
