Weavers Crafting Royal Tapestry

A stone castle workroom glows with firelight from a wide hearth where a striped cat naps nearby, heraldic banners and coats of arms hanging from the timber beams above. At the center, two women sit at a tall wooden loom, threading colored yarn through a half-finished tapestry that depicts knights on horseback riding past a turreted castle beneath a blue sky. Skeins of green, blue, orange, and red wool hang draped across the loom's crossbar, and woven baskets of yarn balls crowd the floor around the bench. To one side, two more women knit by the fire, while across the room others sort fabric and small figures at a cluttered table. Sketches of knights and horses lie scattered on a worktable in the foreground, alongside pots of dye and loose reeds. The half-woven scene on the loom already breaks into figures and fields a needle could follow one at a time.
