L’étang (the pond)
Aubusson tapestry woven in the Legoueix workshop.
With signed label, n°6/6.
Circa 1970.
It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux proposed to Chaye to become his assistant and encouraged him to design tapestry cartoons : he would produce numerous bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…) whence he came.
An exact reproduction of the cartoon “Nénuphars” (waterlilies), the only difference being the change of the background colour from the original green.
