Description

  • Charles Sorlier After Marc Chagall
  • Couple and Fish (M. CS 34)
  • sheet 745 by 520 mm 29 3/8 by 20 1/2 in
Lithograph printed in colors, 1967, signed in pencil and numbered 116/150, on Arches wove paper, from Nice and the Côte d'Azur, with full margins, in good condition apart from pale mat stain, a few small rubbed spots at the lower sheet edge, framed

Condition

The print is in good condition overall. The colors are slightly less vibrant than the Mourlot catalogue illustration but still look strong. The paper tone in the margins is darkened from exposure to an acidic mat, darkest at the mat opening. There are three small abrasions at the lower sheet edge caused by adhesive affixing the front to the back mat.
