Art and History of this Hermès Scarf
Robert Dallet, a self-taught artist and passionate naturalist, dedicated his career to illustrating wildlife with striking realism. He collaborated with Hermès to create several iconic scarves, including Ecuador, Sichuan, and Jungle Love . His work highlights the richness of the world's ecosystems, and his attention to detail transforms each silk square into a true work of art. The South American countries crossed by the equator are rich in primary forests. Their flora and fauna could only fascinate and inspire Robert Dallet, who was above all a passionate naturalist. Truly gifted at drawing animals, and particularly felines, the breadth of his talent is fully expressed in this composition. At the center is His Majesty the Jaguar. Around him, seemingly paying homage but at a safe distance, are his retinue. Surrounded by his barons—Puma, Ocelot, and Margay—in a noisy symphony of toucans, parakeets, and macaws mingling with the cackling of spider monkeys and capuchins, the big cat holds an audience, seemingly distracted. Under the impassive gaze of the sloth, he appears undecided. Will he make his daily fare of the small tapir to his right or the roseate spoonbill at his feet? Diana.
