Artwork description

This etching and aquatint in colour is hand signed in pencil by the artist "Marc Chagall" at the lower right margin.
It is also hand numbered in pencil from the edition, at the lower left margin.
It was printed and published circa 1930 by the Éditions Apollo Artistiques, Paris based on an oil painting of the same name from 1923.
Provenance: Estate of Anne Rosenzweig, New York.
 This, along with one other version in oil held by the Ca’ Pesaro, Venice, were created in 1923 upon the artist’s return to Paris following the First World War. On his arrival in Paris it became clear much of the works he had created before the outbreak of war had not survived and so Chagall created these two paintings based on an oil he created in Vitebsk in 1914.

Condition: Very good condition. Pale time-staining around the image. The sheet very slightly, but evenly toned. A soft crease at the lower right corner.
