Marc Chagall Original Lithograph - "Celestial Love

Updated September 18, 2026

This is a superb, museum-worthy original lithograph by world-renowned modernist master Marc Chagall, titled "Celestial Lovers". Rendered in deep grayscale wash and black ink with surrealist overtones, this work presents Chagall’s iconic dreamlike symbolism: a fantastical donkey-headed figure embracing a nude woman in mid-air, flanked by an angelic bird-headed form with wings. Beneath them, a contemplative woman holds a flower bouquet while the moon, a bird, and Eastern European rooftops float in the background. The composition evokes Chagall’s hallmark themes of love, memory, and mystical transcendence, with a deeply poetic and theatrical visual language.<br>This signed lithograph is highly detailed and emotionally evocative, clearly reflecting Chagall’s Russian-Jewish heritage and his affinity for folkloric fantasy. It is executed in tones of black, white, and gray, offering a dramatic monochromatic aesthetic rarely found in his more colorful works. The lower right bears Chagall’s signature in plate, confirming authenticity of origin as a printed work by the artist himself.<br>Condition: The lithograph appears to be in excellent condition, free from foxing, stains, or paper loss. The image has rich contrast and is professionally double-matted in white, housed in a sleek black contemporary frame measuring 22 1/2" x 18 3/4", with the exposed image area measuring 13" x 9 1/2". The piece is ready to hang and would be a sophisticated addition to any high-end art collection.<br>Chagall’s lithographs are increasingly prized in the global art market, especially those that feature his fantastical dream motifs, aerial lovers, animal-human hybrids, and religious or folkloric imagery. Monochromatic works such as this are particularly sought-after by collectors for their raw emotional power and rarity, standing apart from his more commonly reproduced color prints.<br>This rare Marc Chagall lithograph is a standout piece for collectors of 20th-century modernism, surrealist works, or Judaica-inspired art. The timeless and poetic composition, combined with pristine presentation and signature Chagall whimsy, makes this a compelling acquisition for any discerning buyer or gallery. <br> <br>
