Tapestry depicting the warrior Renaud lying asleep in the enchanted garden of the sorceress Armide, in a scene from Armide by Lully and Quinault. He lies against a tree while Cupid protects him from Armide, who approaches with a dagger in her outstretched right hand. Garlanded border with male and female term-busts to each side.

The painting by Coypel on which this tapestry's design is based was completed as a series entitled 'Fragments d'Opera' between 1733 and 1741. This design was the last completed; this particular tapestry was part of the set woven between 1775 and finished in 1783-4. The workshop manager was Jean II Lefèvre.

First performed in 1686, Armide was revived throughout the first half of the 18th century, when it was regarded by critics as Lully's masterpiece.
