Note: Suzanne Goubely is a major figure in the tapestry revival. When her father Emile Gatien died in 1944 and her husband was taken prisoner of war, she decided to take over the workshop and turned it towards weaving cartoons by contemporary artists such as Jean Lurçat and Marcel Gromaire. The tapestry cartoon is preserved at the Musée des années 30 in Boulogne-Billancourt.
