Chagall, Marc (1887-1985) Russian-born French painter and graphic artist, and a pioneer of 20th Century fantastic art. Chagall turned images drawn from Russian and Jewish folklore into brilliant stained glass, murals, lithographs and paintings.
Brilliantly colored lithograph on textured paper. Signed ("Marc Chagall") and numbered (14/40) in pencil. Sheet size: 13 x 18¾". Excellent condition.
A nude couple embraces, surrounded by foliage, as a goat overlooks the scene. A touching image so typical of Chagall: the woman's torso is prominent, as is the hand she has placed gently over the back of her sleeping lover. The surrounding foliage cradles the couple as the woman cradles the man.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
