This evocative color lithograph by Marc Chagall depicts an intimate exchange between artist and muse, rendered in expressive line and dreamlike color. A painter’s palette rests at the base, blending themes of love, creativity, and artistic identity—hallmarks of Chagall’s poetic vision. Printed on Arches paper with full margins, this impression is one of several rare proofs bearing only the artist’s name, created before the full exhibition text was added for the final poster edition of 500. Signed in blue ballpoint pen and printed by Mourlot, Paris, it was published by Éditions Galerie des Ponchettes, Nice. This early state captures the purity of Chagall’s intent and highlights his mastery of the lithographic medium.
