Condition
This series of etchings (1931-1937, 1952-56) were started in the 1930s and completed in the fifties with most plates finished in the thirties. Plate 26 probably is from an later printing as the edition number is very high.
Some consider this to be the artist's masterwork.
Interestingly a law suit was successfully brought against Barron's magazine which alleged, apparently incorrectly, that Chagall did not apply the hand coloring personally. - Shipping Info
