The sheet comes from the very valuable, strictly limited deluxe edition of only 100 numbered copies on noble Velinkarton paper. The handwritten numbering bottom left documents the exclusivity (Number 74 of worldwide only 100 pieces).
The embossed white color stamp / signature: The legible and slightly raised inscription “Chagall Marc” integrated into the bottom right of the original lithograph (often interpreted as part of the stone or as an embossed seal/ blind stamp) is characteristic for this specific printing variant. It is a so-called signature in the stone (i.e., printed in the plate).

Paper quality: The slightly browning Velinkarton is a high-quality, acid-free artists’ paper that absorbs the pigment of the original lithograph particularly richly and velvety.
