Lower right autographed Marc Chagall, lower left numbered 9/30. - Literature: Catalobue raisoné: Sorlier 107 - One of the most important artists of the 20th century, whose beginnings lay in Fauvism and who later found a distinctive lyrical-modern form of expression. C. attended private painting schools in St. Petersburg after failing to gain admission to the academy. With the help of a scholarship, he was able to move to Paris in 1910, where he soon found a connection to the avant-garde art scene and was able to take part in the customary exhibitions. During a visit to Russia, the First World War broke out and prevented C. from returning to Paris.
