Additional Details: "Rooster with Crescent" is the title page from the 1957 lithograph book "Chagall" by Jacques Lassaigne. This original color lithograph was printed by Mourlot as part of a limited edition of 6,000 copies, produced by Draeger and published by Maeght. The book is catalogued as Sauret no. 193 and showcases Chagall’s vibrant, dreamlike imagery. The artwork on the title page, featuring a rooster and a crescent moon, reflects Chagall’s signature motifs, blending symbolism from his Jewish heritage and his deep connection to nature and animals. The rooster, often a symbol of vigilance and renewal, paired with the crescent moon, creates a mystical, timeless scene characteristic of Chagall’s ability to infuse everyday subjects with a sense of the fantastical. This lithograph is a beautiful representation of Chagall’s artistic vision during this period and remains a sought-after piece for collectors.
