Marc Chagall Cirque (The Circus) Lithograph

A vibrant, framed lithograph attributed to Marc Chagall, depicting a whimsical circus scene. The composition features central figures including a clown in a pink costume and performers atop two horses—one colored in shades of yellow and blue, the other in teal and green. The work is executed in a dreamlike Expressionist style, typical of the artist's mid-20th-century period, approximately circa 1960. The color palette is rich and saturated, dominated by blue, yellow, and magenta tones with soft, painterly transitions. A signature, 'Marc Chagall,' is visible in the lower right margin, though its authenticity as a hand-signature versus a plate-signed element requires physical inspection. The artwork is presented with a white border, housed behind glass in a tiered black wooden frame with a deep charcoal mat. The overall presentation is professional, though the glass shows minor reflections from the surrounding environment. The paper appears centered and clean without visible foxing or water damage, though there is a Slight waviness to the paper known as cockling, suggesting it is not laid down. The construction utilizes high-quality printmaking techniques characteristic of Chagall's extensive body of circus-related lithography, showcasing fluid lines and a chaotic yet balanced arrangement of floating figures.
