Description

  • Marc Chagall
  • Bible: One Plate (see C. Bks 30)
  • 310 by 240 mm 12 1/4 by 9 1/2 in
Etching with hand-coloring, from The Bible, 1958, initialed in pencil and numbered 36/100, on Arches wove paper, published by Teriade, Paris, with full margins, generally in good condition apart from significant light- and mat stain, framed

Condition

The print is generally in good condition though light-stain has darkened the image and the margins just outside of the plate mark. There are a few pale fox marks in the body of the central figure. Expsoure to an acidic mat has caused mottled discoloration in the margins and on the verso.
