The law
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Rivière des Borderies workshop.
With its ribbon.
1951.
Perrot began his work as a cartoonist at the end of the war, producing nearly 500 cartoons, with many commissions from the State, most of which were woven in Aubusson. His highly decorative and shimmering style is very characteristic: a profusion of butterflies or birds, most often, stands out against a vegetal background, in the taste of mille-fleurs tapestries (which Dom Robert also drew inspiration from).
Ornithological representations, which are declined by Perrot to infinity, are capable of an extraordinary variety of allegories: for example with "discord" and "meditation" for the Paris Court of Justice, which are illustrated respectively by black grouse and owls. Nothing like a majestic eagle with a severe eye, inspiring respect, to embody "the Law".
