The Meeting between David and Abigail
by SPIERING, François, Tapestry, 211 x 627 cm
In 1620, the Swedish royal household, the most prestigious client of the Spiering workshop, ordered forty-six tapestry weavings, including four caparisons. The Flemish emigrant David Vinckboons supplied the designs.
After 1620, when Fran�ois Spiering retired, his sons Aert (1593-1650) and Pieter (d. 1652) took over the business.
