Original color lithograph by Marc Chagall. Edition of 6,500, unsigned and unnumbered, from Verve Vol. X, Nos. 37/38 — Dessins pour La Bible, 1960. Published by Tériade, Paris, 1960. Printed by Mourlot, Paris. Sheet: 355 by 260mm (14 by 10 inches). One of Chagall's most celebrated biblical prints — a collector's original, not a reproduction. Marc Chagall (7 July 1887 – 28 March 1985) was one of the most celebrated and beloved artists of the 20th century. Born Marc Zakharovich Shagal in Vitebsk, Belarus (then part of the Russian Empire), he trained in Saint Petersburg before moving to Paris in 1910, where he became part of the vibrant avant-garde of Montparnasse. Drawing on Jewish folk tradition, Russian culture, and the imagery of his Belarusian childhood, Chagall developed a uniquely dreamlike visual language infused with lovers floating above villages, fiddlers on rooftops, animals, angels, and mystical biblical scenes. Associated with Fauvism, Cubism, and Surrealism—yet belonging to none—he was the quintessential 'School of Paris' master. His monumental stained-glass windows, ceiling paintings (including the Paris Opéra), and tapestries brought his vision to public spaces worldwide. Chagall's work is held at MoMA in New York, the Tate in London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Guggenheim, and the Musée National Marc Chagall in Nice—inaugurated in 1973 and dedicated to his biblical message cycle. He remains one of the most sought-after names in 20th-century prints, with original lithographs consistently coveted by collectors worldwide.Verve (1937–1960) was the legendary French art and literary review published in Paris by Efstratios Eleftheriades, known as Tériade. Each double-issue was dedicated to a single artist and produced as a luxury publication, with original lithographic covers and plates printed by Fernand Mourlot—the master lithographer whose atelier collaborated with Picasso, Matisse, Léger, and Miró. Nos. 37/38 (1960), 'Dessins pour La Bible', contains Chagall's second suite of Bible lithographs, expanding on the 1956 series with 48 new color prints depicting scenes from the Old Testament—creation, the lives of the patriarchs, and stories of women in the Bible. The edition of 6,500 unsigned and unnumbered copies was sold through bookshops and galleries worldwide, and individual lithographs extracted from these volumes are among the most collected Chagall prints on the market today.This original color lithograph (sheet: 355 by 260mm (14 by 10 inches)) depicts 'Esther'. Published in 1960 Edition of 6,500, by Tériade, Paris, this work is a fine example of Chagall's graphic production of the period, printed at the celebrated Mourlot studio in Paris under the direct supervision of Fernand Mourlot. Each color was applied from a separate lithographic stone, resulting in the luminous, layered palette that makes Chagall's prints instantly recognizable. Chagall's biblical lithographs are among the most sought-after prints in his ?uvre, combining deep spiritual feeling with the dreamlike palette and symbolic imagery that define his unique vision. Collectors of 20th-century graphic art prize these works for their authenticity as original lithographs—not reproductions—and for their place in one of the most celebrated print suites of the postwar era. In excellent condition. Colors vivid and unfaded. No tears, creases, or foxing. Ready to frame. Mourlot 252 In excellent condition. 355 by 260mm (14 by 10 inches).…
