Property of a Gentleman of Chelsea

An original lithograph of Marc Chagall's handprints (c. 1962)
Hand signed (?)

Jean-Pascal Lorriaux was a passionate collector who had the idea of publishing a collection of lithographs presenting the hands of the great artists of his time. Thus Chagall, Picasso, Fautrier (whose assistant and close friend he was during the last years of his life), Foujita, Cocteau, Lurcat or Mathieu would come to his studio to engrave their hand on lithographic stone. Lorriaux did not have time to finalise his project and only a few tests – including this rare lithograph – were made.

Dimensions:
(Paper) 14.5 in. (H) x 10.25 in. (W)
(Frame) 18.25 (H) x 13.75 in. (W)
