Nicolas des Innocents is commissioned to create a tapestry for Jean le Viste, a rich nobleman. While going over the terms, he meets Jean's young daughter, Claude who is attracted to the handsome artist. When they are caught in an indelicate situation, she is separated from him.
He goes to Brussels to supervise the preparation of the pattern for the weaving of the tapestry. There he meets the beautiful daughter of the weaver who is blind. When he returns to Paris, he tries to see Claude, but is unable. Meanwhile the weaver's daughter has been betrothed by her parents to a brutish wool dyer whom she does not love. Nicolas comes back to Brussels to see how the work is going and finds a way to help her out of her engagement. | ||
