Part IV of Delia Angela Hart's series in The Connoisseur (December 1903) discusses the tapestries woven at the Madrid works from Francisco Goya's cartoons, made for the Prince of Asturias at El Pardo. It covers Goya's relationship with director Raphael Mengs, the Spanish genre subjects (The Blind Musician, kite flying, love trysts), and the Flemish weavers descended from Van der Gotten's atelier. A closing section on tapestry borders mentions fruit, flowers and birds, the Acts of the Apostles borders and Giulio Romano's designs. Illustrated with reproductions of Goya's Love Tryst in Andalusia, The Crockery Vendor and Kite Flying.
