Circa 1965.
It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux offered Chaye the chance to become his assistant and encouraged him to create tapestry cartoons: he would then produce many bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas,…), from which he was originally from.
Exact reproduction of the “Nénuphars” cartoon; only the green background was modified.
