How can you tell if a Chagall print is real?

How can you tell if a Chagall print is real?
To tell if a Chagall print is real, experts recommend having a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer evaluate your piece. Fewer than 5% of Chagall's prints are signed and numbered, and counterfeiters have taken advantage of this and flooded the market with many convincing replicas. As a result, it can be very difficult to authenticate an original Chagall without experience and training. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Marc Chagall art.
