The law
Aubusson tapestry woven by the Rivière des Borderies workshop.
With its bolduc.
1951.
Perrot began his work as a cartoonist/cartoon-painter after the war, producing nearly 500 cartoons, with numerous commissions from the State, most of which were woven in Aubusson. His eminently decorative and lustrous style is highly characteristic: a profusion of butterflies or birds, most often set against a vegetal background, in the spirit of mille-fleurs tapestries (from which he also drew inspiration, Dom Robert).
The ornithological depictions, which Perrot developed endlessly, were capable of extraordinary variety in allegories: for instance, with "discord" and "meditation" for the Palais de Justice in Paris, illustrated respectively by black grouse and owls. Nothing like that here—rather, a majestic eagle with a stern eye, inspiring respect, to embody "the Law."
