This original lithograph by Marc Chagall depicts Moses, one of the artist’s most enduring and personal biblical subjects. Executed in 1956 for Verve, the celebrated Parisian art journal founded by Tériade, the work forms part of Chagall’s monumental engagement with Old Testament themes that occupied him for much of his career.

Printed by the master lithographers Mourlot Frères, the composition demonstrates Chagall’s expressive linearity and his masterful use of color to convey spiritual intensity and emotional depth. The figure of Moses emerges with characteristic lyricism, rendered in fluid, calligraphic lines and saturated tones that exemplify Chagall’s mature graphic style.

This work originates from the rare limited edition produced for Verve, widely regarded as one of the most important 20th-century art periodicals. Lithographs from this series are recognized as original works of art, not reproductions, and are represented in major museum collections worldwide.

The piece is presented in a professional archival frame, enhancing its visual presence while preserving the integrity of the paper.
