Authentic lithograph by Marc Chagall: 'Le mari en penitence ou le chemin du paradis'. Printed on wove paper. Published in 1950 in a special edition 'Les contes de Boccace' of the iconic art magazine 'Verve'. Printed in a limited edition. Size: 26.5 x 35.5 cm. Not signed. Not framed. In good condition: a nicely preserved lithograph from 1950, with some discolouration of the page edges due to age and a small glue mark on the back that does little to detract from the quality of the work. See photos please.
At the request of Tériade, the publisher of Verve, Chagall made illustrations for scenes from Boccacio's Decameron. Hence 'Les contes de Boccace'. The lithograph is notable, among other things, for the unusual medium that Chagall used: new wash drawings in Indian ink, diluted with black in all possible gradations, from onyx to the lightest shade of gray, which gives them - paradoxically - a deeply intense 'colorful' effect.
Note: can be shipped cheaper to a collection point: BE €5, NL €11.50, DE €11.50.
