Quai aux Fleurs by Marc Chagall (Numbered 67/75)

This is a limited edition color lithograph by the renowned Modernist artist Marc Chagall, titled 'Quai aux Fleurs' (from the series 'Regards sur Paris'). Measuring approximately 13 1/2 by 10 1/2 inches, the composition is a classic representation of Chagall’s dreamlike, poetic style. It features a couple—a signature motif of the artist—floating or reclining over a stylized Parisian landscape. The palette is dominated by deep blues and ethereal teals, contrasted by a vibrant magenta or pink figure in the foreground and a bouquet of flowers in the lower right corner. The craftsmanship is evident in the rich, layered application of color and the whimsical, fluid linework characteristic of the artist's late period (circa 1960s). Notable markings include the artist's name, 'Marc Chagall', and the title 'Quai aux Fleurs' appearing vertically in the right-hand margin. Crucially, the piece is hand-numbered '67/75' in the lower right, indicating a very small and desirable edition size. The print is housed under glass within a matted frame. Regarding condition, there is significant glare on the glass surface in the photograph, but the paper appears generally stable with potential slight toning or yellowing consistent with age. No immediate tears or major foxing are visible, though a physical inspection out of the frame would be required to confirm margin condition and the presence of a watermark (such as Arches).
