Bianchini-Ferier was a textile studio at Tournon for which Dufy made designs to be translated into often highly elaborate and colourful printed fabrics. As the artist said: "Nowhere else but in fabrics do we have the pleasure of witnessing the optical phenomena of lines and colours... It is here that we can enjoy the grace of a beautiful unfolding line, like a delightful melody" (quoted in Dora Perez-Tibi, Dufy, London, 1989, p. 111).
