Originally conceived as one of fifteen lithographs produced to accompany the book Chagall by Jacques Lassaigne, this image was subsequently reworked from the original nocturnal palette of rich browns into a sumptuous wash of moonlit blues. The new variant was subsequently included in a double issue of Derrière le miroir (issue 99-100) in July 1957. This legendary art periodical was published by Chagall's dealer Aimé Maeght between 1946 and 1982. It was famous for its lavish inclusion of original lithographs by Maeght's artists. Our print is from the loose signed and numbered edition of only 90, alongside the unsigned folio edition of approximately 2500.
Chagall's dreamlike compositions depict aspects of the artist's personal and family history, and those of Eastern European folklore at large. Flying figures, elements of Jewish tradition, peasant life and animals are all frequent motifs, with most of them represented within this single image. Featuring a dog, a rooster, a man and a glimpse of a sleeping village, this piece is a gorgeous and lyrical distillation of Chagall's artistic sensibilities, expressed in a rush of symphonic colour.
