Overview
An Aubusson tapestry Atelier Legoueix,
With its bolduc signed, No. 5/6.
Circa 1980.
It was in 1953 that Jean Picart le Doux offered Chaye the opportunity to become his assistant and encouraged him to create tapestry cartoons: he then produced many bucolic cartoons, but also views of Normandy (Mont Saint Michel, Honfleur, regattas, …), of which he was a native.
These “at bird-flight height” compositions were characteristic of the artist.
