Chantelune
Tapestry woven in Aubusson by the Tabard workshop.
With its label label signed by the artist, no. EA II.
Circa 1970.
Having become a painter-cartoonist late in life, Henri Ilhe nevertheless designed, from 1964 onwards, a considerable woven work (more than 120 cartoons, all woven at Tabard) with an amiable style, made up of birds or butterflies frolicking in shrubs with knotted branches.
"Chantelune" is, in this respect, characteristic of Ilhe's bucolic inspiration.
