Victor Spahn (1949) - Marathon

**Short description of the item and its origin**

An original colour lithograph entitled “Marathon” (also known as “Course à pied”) by the French artist Victor Spahn (born 1949).

The composition depicts two athletes running side by side, captured in a dynamic moment of movement. Spahn uses expressive brush-like forms, flowing lines and contrasting colours to convey the energy, rhythm and speed of athletic movement. The deep blue background and sweeping strokes further enhance the sense of motion and vitality.

The lower-left corner of the front bears the handwritten inscription “E.A.”, standing for *Épreuve d’Artiste* (Artist’s Proof). The work is hand-signed by Victor Spahn in the lower-right corner.

On the reverse, the title “MARATHON” is handwritten, together with an additional handwritten edition marking “7/3000”. These inscriptions provide further identifying details of the work.
