La Tribu de Gad, from Douze Maquettes de vitraux pour Jérusalem (The Tribe of Gad, from Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem) by Charles Sorlier

A vibrant lithograph rendered in Chagall's characteristically dreamlike style, this work depicts the Tribe of Gad through a luminous interplay of deep blues, greens, and warm yellows that evoke the transcendent quality of stained glass. Symbolic figures, animals, and Hebrew script are woven together in a swirling, otherworldly composition that reflects Chagall's deep connection to Jewish heritage and spirituality. Created as a maquette for the celebrated Jerusalem Windows, the print captures the artist's visionary approach to sacred art, transforming biblical narrative into a radiant tapestry of color and form.
