Description
- Marc Chagall
- Daphnis and Chloe: Arrival of Dionysophanes (M. 344)
- sheet 540 by 378 mm 21 1/4 by 14 7/8 in
Lithograph printed in colors, 1960, signed in pencil and numbered 45/60, on Arches wove paper, published by Tériade, Paris, with wide margins, in good condition apart from pale discoloration along the perimeter of the image, framed
Condition
The print is in good condition overall. A narrow band of discoloration surrounds the image - this appears to be remains of adhesive stain from a previous over mat. The colors are strong - when compared to an example which has never been exposed to light (from the full book also included in this auction) they are ever so slightly less vivid but still good. There is a small fox mark near the lower deckle of the sheet.
