The Prophet and the Angel (Mourlot 942)

This 1979 lithograph by Marc Chagall exemplifies the artist's characteristic blend of biblical imagery and dreamlike symbolism, depicting an encounter between a prophet and an angel rendered in his distinctive use of vibrant color. The work was printed by the renowned Parisian workshop Mourlot in an edition of 50 on Japan nacré paper, establishing its significance as a limited edition fine art print. Signed and numbered by the artist, this substantial composition at 595 by 460 millimeters represents a mature work from the later period of Chagall's prolific career in printmaking.
