MARC CHAGALL | Autour du "Peintre à la palette et au coq, 1960"

Estate of the artist
Private Collection
Acquired from the above by the present owner in 1996

The board is stable. The board is attached to a wooden frame which the work extends onto. UV examination does not reveal any evidence of retouching. There are some areas of filler that have been added into the gaps between the board and connected inner frame and to cover holes at each corner, inherent to the artist's process. There are some iregularities to the edges of the board, inherent at the time of execution. This work is in overall good condition.
