Additional Details: Original Lithograph on Japon Paper Catalogue Reference: Chagall – The Lithographs (D.A.P.), No. 721 Sheet Dimensions: 26 x 23 inches | Framed Dimensions: Approx. 32 x 29 inches Frame: Ornate gold wood, 3-inch front face profile, 1.75-inch side depth | Glazing: Plexiglass This original lithograph by Marc Chagall is printed on fine Japon paper and is neither signed nor numbered, as issued. It is cataloged as number 721 in Chagall – The Lithographs by D.A.P., one of the most authoritative references on the artist’s graphic works. The artwork portrays a crowned figure holding a harp, often interpreted as a symbolic depiction of King David of the Old Testament. Chagall’s iconography frequently reflects his deep spiritual sensibilities, and this piece resonates with biblical overtones. King David, traditionally credited with composing many of the psalms, is a recurring figure in Judeo-Christian art. While 73 of the 150 psalms are attributed to him, ancient texts such as the Dead Sea Scroll 11QPsa mention thousands more songs and compositions ascribed to his name—though direct authorship remains a topic of debate. The poetic nature of the psalms, marked by the literary device of parallelism—using repetition, synonyms, and contrasts—aligns harmoniously with Chagall’s visual language of lyrical symbolism and layered meaning. The piece is presented in an elegant and substantial gold wood frame with a 3-inch wide front profile and a depth of 1.75 inches, protected under plexiglass.
