The example given of his work illustrated in this entry is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (USA). It is one of a pair of panels designed for a pleasure palace called Casa del Labrador in Aranjuez, just south of Madrid (Spain). The palace was owned by King Charles IV of Spain (r. 1788-1808). The two panels were made between 1791-1803. They consist of a woven silk and metal thread ground material, which was further embellished with multi-coloured chenille thread and floss silk embroidery. They are about 270 x 74 cm each in size.
The ground material was woven by Camille Pernon (1753-1808) in Lyon, but it is unknown who embroidered the landscape. It is likely, however, that it was carried out in a professional atelier, perhaps in Spain, as the landscape design is based upon the countryside around Aranjuez itself.
