Original color lithograph on Arches wove paper

Numbered 13/60 lower left
Printed by Mourlot, Paris
Published by Tériade, Paris
A superb impression from the rare deluxe edition of sixty hand-signed lithographs created for Chagall’s celebrated Daphnis et Chloé suite. Executed with the artist’s characteristic luminosity, the composition blends delicate pastel washes with vibrant touches of red, blue and yellow, achieving the atmospheric, dream-like quality specific to this series.
The sheet preserves its full wide margins and the Arches wove texture, showing the fresh, unaltered palette typical of early impressions. Chagall’s pencil signature is clear, flowing and fully characteristic of the period, corresponding to other signed works from the Daphnis et Chloé deluxe suite.
A beautifully printed example of one of the most lyrical plates from the cycle, offered in excellent condition and ready for collection or display.
