Les Amoureux Aux Fleurs Rouges Appraisal

Marc Chagall - Les Amoureux aux Fleurs Rouges (The Lovers with Red Flowers) Lithograph

This item is a framed color lithograph attributed to the style of Marc Chagall, likely a mid-to-late 20th-century print. The artwork depicts a signature Surrealist/Modernist scene featuring a celestial-like couple embracing in the upper right quadrant, hovering above a large, vibrant bouquet of red flowers in a green vase. The composition is set against a dreamy, ethereal background of blue and white washes suggesting a village under a moonlit or twilight sky. The piece is rendered in a soft, gestural style with a palette dominated by primary reds, deep blues, and leafy greens. It is housed in a contemporary gilded wood frame with a double-matted border (a wide white outer mat and a thin dark inner fillet). The artwork features a signature in the lower right-hand corner, which appears to be a facsimile or hand-pencil signature of Marc Chagall, and there is a faint numbering or notation in the lower left corner, typical of limited-edition prints. The condition appears fair to good; while the print colors remain relatively vibrant, there is some visible rippling or 'cockling' of the paper inside the frame, suggesting potential exposure to humidity or improper mounting. No significant staining or foxing is immediately visible through the glass, though the frame shows minor shelf wear on the gilding.
