One of the most intimate works in the Mourlot Lithographe II portfolio, this Self Portrait offers a rare window into Chagall's self-perception as an artist. Throughout his long career, Chagall returned to the self-portrait as a means of situating himself within his own dreamlike visual universe — at once observer and participant. Printed by Fernand Mourlot in 1963, this lithograph is a quietly compelling and historically significant example of his graphic work.
