• Jacob Christoph Le Blon, Head of Christ, ca. 1725. The inscription under the image was woven separately from the cartoon detail. Other examples reverse the image so that the profile faces right rather than left. This was an economical use of the drawloom that Le Blon claimed was an advantageous choice for consumers.
