Carzou est l’un des nombreux artistes tissés à Bièvres au Moulin de Vauboyen (d’où la marque MV tissée dans la trame des tapisseries), transformé à partir de 1959 en Centre Culturel par Pierre de Tartas, et dédié à l’art figuratif. Y passeront Cocteau, Foujita, Erni, Volti,…. et bien d’autres qui y réaliseront de nombreuses oeuvres, monumentales, ainsi que dans les arts appliqués (l’illustration de livres notamment).
Although he had become known at the beginning of his career as a painter of large-scale sets (especially for the stage), Carzou's forays into tapestry were relatively rare. This cartoon preserves the artist's so distinctive style, composed of interlaced lines illustrating dreamlike subjects, which are not without recalling the work of Lucien Coutaud.
