Hatching
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Legoueix workshop.
With its ribbon signed by the artist, No. 1/6.
Circa 1970.
It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux offered Chaye to become his assistant and encouraged him to create tapestry cartoons: he then produced many bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…), from where he originated.
This cartoon is a classic example of the artist's naturalist style, specializing in enclosures, hedges, and other woodland scenes populated with animals
