Description from the seller

Marc Chagall (1887-1958)
The ceiling of L'Opéra, 1964

Offset and photolithography
Unsigned
On vellum 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 left his mark in the work forever 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 Première maquette en couleurs non retenue.

Very good condition - usual central fold (as issued) with the image on the back (as issued - see photo)
