Historical Description

This exquisite print abounds with Chagall's romantic imagery. Perhaps a reflection of the artist's own workspace during his time spent in Saint Paul, this studio features large, light-filled windows and a striking, vibrantly colored floral arrangement. To the right, we view our talented artist at work, reaching his arm out towards his canvas as if struck by a moment of inspiration. Paintbrushes and quaint furniture adorn this charming space, further offering us a sense of the artist's personality. This remarkable print is noteworthy for Chagall's soft line work and subtle use of cool hues, which contribute a calming, peaceful feel to this piece. This sense of peacefulness and tranquility extends from the work itself into the space is which it is displayed, as it transports us to Chagall's own private workspace in southeastern France.

Created in 1974, this original color lithograph is hand-signed by Marc Chagall (Vitebsk, 1887 - Saint-Paul, 1985) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered from the edition of 50 in pencil in the lower left margin.
