Floral arrangements, a bird flying overhead, and a lover's embrace add to this happy and joyful scene. Created in 1972, this piece is printed on Arches wove paper and published by Editions Maeght, Paris. It is also signed in the lower right margin by Marc Chagall (1887-1985) and numbered in pencil 14/30 in the lower left margin. Chagall's use of white on black creates an exquisite effect of allowing his characters to leap from the print, adding an illusion of depth and intensity between the contrasting colors. The small bird flutters overhead as the central figure of the woman is depicted with arms outstretched to embrace her companion on the right. A robust rendition of flora frames the composition towards the lower left margin as a small figure of a man can be seen entering the frame from the right. This is truly one of Chagall's finer works evoking a subtle elegance and displaying his masterful artistry.
