Observations

This series was  a testamentary legacy by Miguel del Olmo, former Chancellor of Milan, and Bishop of Cuenca (1706-1721). It probably consisted of eight tapestries of which six are preserved, four of which are currently in the Diocesan Museum and two in the Cathedral of Cuenca.

This tapestry represents the sequence described in (Gén. 7, 17-24)
