The authenticity of this work has kindly been confirmed by the Comité Chagall.
The work is executed on cream wove paper and taped to the mat along the upper edge of the verso. The edges are slightly deckled, and there is a small loss along the extreme edge beneath the signature, though this is covered by the mat. The colors are vibrant and the medium is well preserved. There is a very small crease along the lower edge, visible only under close inspection. The work is in excellent condition.
