Under the Cypress Trees at Corfu — Sargent Tapestry Blanket

Painted during John Singer Sargent's extended 1909 stay on the Greek island of Corfu, this work captures figures resting in the deep shade of the island's cypress groves — it was sold in 1925 under the title 'Two Girls Reclining under Cypress Trees, Corfu.' It belongs to the same celebrated series of sun-dappled Corfu landscapes Sargent produced during that trip. The painting is now held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.
