Hand-embroidered screen. 19th century.

The wooden frames of the wings are enriched at the base with a concave quadrangular panel, the extension of which is a hand-embroidered fabric. The edges of the finial are decorated with delicate auricular ornaments accompanied by small marine flora.

The decorative fabric presents full-figure shots of heroes of Greek mythology against the background of an individualized landscape. Each shot has been inscribed in a ribbon-pincer ornament topped with a pair of festoons. Both from below and above, the mythological representations are preceded by a single head of a man captured in an analogous ribbon-pincer ornament crowned with a rich roccail.
