Marc Chagall (Russian/French, 1887-1985) Mourlot Freres Lithograph

This 1963 original color lithograph by Marc Chagall (1887-1985), titled Acrobats at Play (Le Jeu des Acrobates), was printed by the prestigious Mourlot Freres atelier in Paris and published by Editions Andre Sauret for the landmark catalogue raisonne portfolio, Chagall Lithograph II (1957-1962). Catalogued under the official reference Mourlot 401 (Cramer 56), the surrealist composition captures Chagall's enduring fascination with the circus and its spirit of physical freedom. The artwork depicts two fluid figures in mid-performance acrobatics, seamlessly floating among whimsical floral and organic motifs. Executed with a delicate framework of black outlines, the piece is brought to life by bright, primary color accents in yellow, blue, green, and pink. The work is presented in a gilt-metal frame with a linen-textured outer mat and a coral-toned inner mat. Sight size: 9.75"W x 12.50"H.
