Ruth at the Feet of Boaz (Mourlot 248)

This 1960 lithograph by Marc Chagall depicts the biblical narrative of Ruth prostrating herself before Boaz, rendered in the artist's characteristic dreamlike style with luminous colors and floating forms. Chagall's interpretation transforms the Old Testament story into a poetic meditation on devotion and providence, employing his signature blend of figuration and abstraction. The work is a fine example of the artist's later graphic output, created during his most prolific period and printed by the renowned Parisian workshop Mourlot.
