The left picture shows the tapestry in low lighting that we use most often to preserve the collection. Occasionally when we deep clean the tapestries, a brighter light needs to be used and we get a unique opportunity to properly see the colours on the tapestry. Here in bright lighting the reds and greens show up a lot clearer and especially the fox in the front looks more defined.
