Aubusson tapestry woven by the Four workshop.

Circa 1980.
Toffoli devoted himself extensively to tapestry with the Robert Four workshop, beginning in 1976, creating hundreds of designs. These tapestries reflect the post-Cubist transparencies characteristic of the painter, as well as his recurring themes. Indeed, Toffoli's tapestry work is inseparable from his painting: a painter and traveler, he depicts in our tapestry the junks he observed during his travels in the Far East.
