Marc Chagall

Le Couple au Crépuscule (Mourlot 972)

Marc Chagall's "Le Couple au Crépuscule" is a 1980 color lithograph that exemplifies the artist's lyrical approach to themes of love and intimacy, rendered in his characteristic dreamlike style with floating figures and warm, romantic tonality. Created late in Chagall's career and printed by the renowned Parisian workshop Mourlot, this limited edition work of 50 impressions showcases the technical mastery of color lithography on substantial Arches paper. The work's generous scale of over 46 inches in width allows the twilight scene to unfold with an intimate yet monumental presence characteristic of Chagall's most celebrated compositions.
