La huppe rouge (the red hoopooe)
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Picaud workshop.

Circa 1970.
Originally from the Limousin region of France (and the daughter of the master glass-blower François Chigot), Delphine Bureau-Chigot devoted a large part of her creative energies (she was also a painter and a pastel artist) to tapestry design (something over a hundred) which were for the most part woven by the Picaud workshop, often evoking a dream-like world where animals (and notably birds) had an important place.
