About the artist:

Born in 1932 in Paris to an old farming family from the borders of Beauce et du Perche, Paul de Chabot discovered at an early age a love for drawing and horses. He studied at L'Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris, focusing on architecture, before he eventually swapped his ruler for a chisel. A rider himself, de Chabot's work makes one naturally think of the French Romantic painter Théodore Géricault, who also rode his horses with as much passion as he drew them.

De Chabot was exhibited at le Salon d'Automne de Paris in 1971 and 1973, as well as in numerous private exhibitions. L'Etat Francais (French Foreign and Cultural Affairs) was one of his many clients throughout the world, including the United States, Japan, England, Belgium, Germany, Australia, and all throughout the African Continent.
