Marc Chagall (1887-1958)
Le plafond de L'Opéra, 1964

Offset lithography
Signed on the plate (see photo)
On laid paper 32.5×48.5 cm

This masterful work occupied Chagall for two long years. The seventy-year-old artist became passionate about this prestigious commission and he is forever inscribed in the work with his self-portrait at the palette beside the Eiffel Tower (see photo).

This work was issued for the portfolio celebrating the realization and inauguration of the ceiling of the Paris Opera by Marc Chagall in 1964. It is annotated First color maquette not retained.

Very good condition - usual center fold (as issued) with the text and the image on the back (as issued - see photo) and a small abrasion in the lower left corner.
