Modern Paris
Tapestry woven by the Colombes workshop for ART (Tapestry Renovation Workshop).
1945.
Little is known about the artist, but she created several cartoons, which were woven by Antoine Behna's ART workshops.
The panoramic topographical view was one of the workshop's specialties, with "Modern Paris" echoing Bobot's "Old Paris 1650."
A copy of each of these tapestries was even presented to President Truman.
