A local boy, Henri de Jordan met Firmin Bauby in Perpignan, the man behind the San Vicens ceramics workshop. It was there that he discovered painting on ceramics, as well as tapestry, through Lurçat and Picart le Doux. Our cartoon bears witness to this influence: it is the work of a young artist still marked by the tutelary shadow of his elders (Lurçat died that same year).
