La chasse aux papillons
Description
Dans un paysage légèrement vallonné et boisé, où sont visibles des constructions évoquant l'architecture flamande à l'arrière plan à gauche, sept bergers et bergères pratiquent la chasse aux papillons au milieu de leurs troupeaux. L'un des jeunes bergers est grimpé dans un arbre pour dénicher des oiseaux et les faire tomber dans le jupon de sa compagne de jeu. Au bas de la tapisserie, au premier plan, sont représentés divers oiseaux dont une autruche. La bordure de la tapisserie présente des motifs végétaux, des fruits, deux têtes de béliers (dans les angles inférieurs) ainsi que des instruments liés aux activités pastorales. On reconnait notamment au centre de la bordure inférieure divers instruments de musique : une cornemuse, une flûte de pan, une flûte à bec et une bombarde (instrument à vent ancien, de la famille des hautbois).
