A rare proof, before the book edition, signed by Marc Chagall. On wove paper (papier velin), with watermark “Montval”, in impeccable printing quality and condition. This example was handpicked by Marc Chagall and signed by him outside the black and white edition. The only known example in private hand purchased directly from the Chagall estate. The facets edged and a little bit more pronounced compared to those of the book edition, with slight differences in printing.
