Rare tapestry entitled "Le Thé ou Le Repas chinois" from the second Chinese wall hanging, after François Boucher (1703-1770) carton ou grand patron de Jean-Joseph Dumons, Aubusson manufacture, Picon workshop, 18th century, circa 1745-1760. Height: 237 cm - Length: 369 cm. Expert: Élisabeth Floret Provenance: former Martin Le Roy collection. In an exotic landscape, tea is being served by a Chinese servant while under a parasol a conversation is taking place between a Chinese man and woman surrounded by children playing around them. This "Tea" tapestry is part of the hanging whose other elements are: the Aviary, the Gardener, Fishing with a Net, Fishing from a Boat, the Shepherdess and the two between-windows Woman near a Birdcage and Woman Operating a Mill. This is a variant of the Chinese wall hanging woven by Picon in Aubusson, perfectly illustrating an imaginary Orient whose success had not waned since the first Chinese wall hanging woven at the Beauvais factory after Vernansal, Monnoyer and Blin de Fontenay. In 1742, François Boucher was commissioned to create a second Chinese wall hanging, some for the Beauvais factory and others for Aubusson, woven by the workshops of Picon in association with Pierre Mage from 1756 onwards. The Étienne Ader sale. Palais Galliera June 13, 1963 lot 136 offered a tapestry of the same design. A similar tapestry, "Le thé", is in the Musée du Louvre, inv. no. OAR 19.
