- The cartoons for the set of five tapestries to which this piece belongs were painted by Maximillian de Hase, court painter to Empress Maria Teresa, with their subject taken from ancient Persian history. Gobrias, an elderly Assyrian prince, asked for King Cyrus' help to avenge the death of his son, and offered his daughter's hand as part of his pledge. The main source of stories of Cyrus' life was the <i>Cyropaedi</i>, a biography of him written in the 4th century BC by Xenophon of Athens. The <i>Cyropaedia</i> was rediscovered in Western Europe during the late medieval period as a treatise on political virtue and social organization, and continued to be widely read and respected through to the 18th century.

- Tapestry woven in wool and silk with the subject of the presentation of Gobrias' daughter to Cyrus. The young Cyrus in a blue robe, red cloak, turban and crown, is enthroned on a dais at the right in front of draperies suspended from a tree. Before him stands Gobrias and his daughter and attendants. A slave piles gold and silver vessels before the dais. Groups of soldiers and elderly men look on. There in an encampment in the middle distance on the left. With the Arms of Empress Maria-Theresa of Austria at the top.
The tapestry (and the others in the set) were woven without borders. (en)
- Tapestry 'Cyrus with the daughter of Gobrias' woven in wool and silk, designed by Maximiliaan de Hase, Brussels, 1771-1775 (en)
- Tapestry showing Cyrus with Gobrias’ Daughter

Changing taste in interiors reduced the market for large wall hangings. Brussels tapestry workshops went into decline. By the 1760s, the van der Borcht family were one of only two manufacturers of high-quality tapestry that remained in the city. The Austrian court provided crucial patronage. This tapestry is from a set made for Empress Maria Theresa of Austria. It tells the story of the Persian King Cyrus, representing the idea of virtue in leadership.
Southern Netherlands, now Belgium (Brussels)
