Marc Chagall [A Fox Jumping on a Woman] 1952 39.5x30.5cm Original Etching Signed with Imprint

Limited to 200 copies

A representative painter of the School of Paris, 1887 - 1985.

With diverse and brilliant colors, he depicted the world of love between men and women, the Bible, and mythology as a fairytale world. Landscapes and figures blend in color, and time and space merge, creating a phantom-like world of color and atmosphere in his paintings, from which one can feel his love for his wife and hometown, as well as a message seeking love and peace.
