The enclosure
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Brivet workshop.
With its ribbon signed by the artist, No. 4/4.
1966.
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.
Classic cartoon of the artist's naturalistic vein, specialist of enclosures, hedges and other undergrowth.
