A beautiful and quintessential original color lithograph by master modernist Marc Chagall, titled Tenderness (Tendresse). Executed in 1983, the work features Chagall's signature dreamlike imagery, depicting an intimate embrace between a couple embedded with poetic, surreal elements. A soft wash of green and delicate hand-drawn lines define the compositions, showcasing a vibrant bouquet of flowers in a vase, a crescent moon, and table elements. The print is framed by an integrated border of delicate red, blue, and yellow dots and marks. Printed by the renowned Mourlot studio in Paris, this piece represents the pinnacle of 20th-century fine art printmaking. Hand-signed in pencil by the artist in the lower right margin and hand-numbered 18/50 in pencil in the lower left margin. Accompanied by a formal certificate of authenticity documenting its entry in the Mourlot catalogue raisonné. Housed in a premium contemporary metallic-finished wood frame with a clean white mat and black inner accent file.
