Le Coq Rouge (Mourlot 60)
"Le Coq Rouge" is a color lithograph created by Marc Chagall in 1952, published by the prestigious Parisian printer Derrière le Miroir and limited to an edition of 200 impressions. The work exemplifies Chagall's characteristic blend of Modernist sensibility with Symbolist imagery, featuring his iconic motif of the red rooster, a recurring subject in his oeuvre that evokes themes of vitality, folklore, and his Russian Jewish heritage. Printed on fine Arches paper and signed in pencil by the artist, this lithograph represents a significant example of Chagall's printmaking practice during the height of his career.
