Upright/Portrait
Tapestries of upright shape were frequently designed as parts of sets to cover space between windows, and are therefore known as entre-fenêtre. This shape was also frequently used for heraldic or armorial panels containing Coats of Arms. There are also numerous upright fragmentary panels, which survive from larger tapestries.
