La Teinture, or The Dyeing, by Jean Hugues, 1 of 4 relief medallions depicting skills needed in the production of tapestries, on the facade of the Manufacture des Gobelins, or Gobelins Manufactory, a historic tapestry factory, built by Jean-Camille Formige in 1912 after a fire in 1871, on the Avenue des Gobelins in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France. In 1662 Jean-Baptiste Colbert took over the factory to provide tapestries and furniture for the French royal family, and tapestries are still produced here using traditional techniques. Les Gobelins is now part of Le Mobilier National, which commissions and conserves state furniture. Picture by Manuel Cohen
