Description: Marc Chagall’s “Le profile et l’enfant rouge” (1960) is a luminous example of the artist’s poetic lithography, rendered in vibrant color on Arches paper. Measuring 13 by 10 inches, this work emerges from Chagall’s celebrated collaboration with master printer Fernand Mourlot and was included in the seminal “Chagall Lithographe, Tome I,” published by André Sauret. The composition, characterized by its dreamlike interplay of figures and radiant hues, reflects Chagall’s enduring fascination with memory and childhood, evoking a sense of wonder and nostalgia. The lithograph’s delicate balance of line and color situates it firmly within the artist’s mature period, where personal mythology and visual lyricism converge with technical mastery.
