Sirène au Poète, from Nice et la Côte d'Azur (Mermaid to the Poet, from Nice and the Cote d'Azur) (M. C.S. 27)

This colorful lithograph by Marc Chagall depicts a fantastical encounter between a mermaid and a poet, themes central to the artist's romantic and dreamlike visual vocabulary. Created as part of a series celebrating the French Riviera, the work showcases Chagall's characteristic use of vibrant hues and floating, ethereal figures that transcend naturalistic representation. The print's preservation on Arches paper with full margins demonstrates the care taken in its production as a fine art edition.
