(image) Print on Arches The work we propose is a lithograph printed before the letter for the poster of Chagall's exhibition at the Musée National Message Biblique Marc Chagall in Nice from July to September 1974.

Our work is the initial sketch for part of the fourth and final stained glass window in the lancet of the north transept, west wing...
