281 info@fonsiemealy.ie 271. Louis le Brocquy (1916-2012) (attributed to) “Abstract, Blackscale”Tapestry, approx. 188cms x 124cms (74” x 49”), label for Donegal Carpets on reverse. (1) Note: Donegal Carpets, Killybegs , c 1967 The attribution of this tufted rug to Louis le Brocquy is reasonably secure, the black and white abstract design closely echoing his illustrations done in 1967 for “An Tain Bo Cuailnge”, the Gaelic epic saga translated by Thomas Kinsella. The rug is labelled “Inver”, referring to the number of tufts per square inch rather than the design. Judging by the label, this rug was a prototype design, intended to guide buyers as to potential rugs that could be commissioned in different colours.
