The variety of colors and whimsical characters helps make this piece come alive with romantic charm. Created in c.1954, publisher Guy Spitzer has engraved 'Marc Chagall - le cheval rouge' in the lower right of the plate, which appears in the margin just above the signature. Also, 'Guy Spitzer - Editeur Paris' is printed in the same manner, in the lower left margin just above the edition number. It is hand-signed by Marc Chagall bold, blue ink in the lower right margin and numbered in the lower left 105/300. There is also a small description by the publisher on the reverse, indicating details on the piece. The deep tones of blue throughout the piece is dramatically accented by Chagall's use of white, highlighting the wintry snow landscape. Our heroine is pulled on a sled by a brilliantly colored horse, wearing magical wings that take her through the snowy night. A yellow rooster joins her on the ride through the piece, as each of the characters is depicted with expressive features, evoking joyful sentiment and blissful nostalgia. Chagall has recreated an inverse environment, placing the horizon line lower in the composition which focuses our eye onto the snowy playground of our characters.
