In an article published in Art et décoration: revue mensuelle d'art moderne in 1922, Léon Deshaires described Chadel's approach to drawing:
"While he bathes his Japanese brush in the water of the bucket, while he removes the excess water by automatically wiping it under his sleeve, while he finally dips the tip into the bottle of Indian ink hanging from his jacket, he continues to look attentively in front of him, like a hunter staring at his prey. It is then that he chooses and imprints in his memory the essential characteristics of an object, an individual or a scene. His hand which is getting ready trembles, because the man is lively and nervous, and the friend who observes him wonders if he is not going to miss the goal; but suddenly this hand falls and it traces on the paper a fair line of masterly decision."
One senses the artist's care and keen eye in htis study of a barn owl.
