People rarely feature in the peasant tapestries but Godfrey Blount appeared to have made numerous pieces of furniture with gesso decorations depicting people, and also woodcarving designs as shown in The Artist in September 1897. Arbor Vitae contains a number of pen and ink drawings of people. There are not many clothes between them.
