Lot and his daughters. 1956. Etching on Montval. 31.6 x 24.7 cm. (40 x 31 cm). Signed. Mounted beneath the passe-partout in the upper corners. – Slight creasing in places. Isolated small tears in the margins. Slightly soiled. Overall in good condition. Excellent, crisp print.
See Cramer, 29. – Published in 1956 as part of the ‘Die Bibel’ series of illustrations by E. Tériade, Paris. Printed by Raymond Haasen, Paris. The etching plates were created between 1931 and 1939 on commission from the art dealer Ambroise Vollard; his death and the subsequent turmoil of the war delayed publication until 1956. This sheet depicts the biblical scene from Genesis XIX in the deep and nuanced style of etching characteristic of Chagall.
