printed on the hand presses of the Mourlot printing house in Paris
This original lithograph is a "Bon a tirer" which is inscribed "bon" and hand signed by Marc Chagall.
It is an advance proof from the hand press that was made during Marc Chagall's lifetime. Chagall was satisfied with the advance proof and gave his approval for printing. He then died in 1985 before the edition could be printed and signed. The actual edition was then stamp-signed after his death in 1985.
It is the only hand-signed print of this lithograph by Marc Chagall; the typical registration holes can be seen in the upper and lower areas.
Condition: some foxing, no other stains or creases, nice fresh colors.

Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Russian-French artist known for his dreamlike, poetic imagery that blends folklore, religion, and modernist styles. His lithographs are especially celebrated for their vibrant colors and lyrical themes, often depicting lovers, animals, and scenes from his childhood or Jewish tradition. Through lithography, Chagall was able to combine fluid lines with luminous tones, making his prints both intimate and fantastical.
