Medium: Color lithograph, typically signed in the plate (meaning the signature is part of the print, not hand-signed in pencil).
Year: Circa 1965 or 1966.
Provenance: This lithograph was featured in the book detailing the design and execution of the new ceiling for the Paris Opera (Palais Garnier), which Chagall was commissioned to paint in 1963. The specific panel in the artwork is dedicated to the composer Jean-Philippe Rameau.
Inscription: The French text in the lower right translates roughly to: "I wanted to be among those of today to offer Garnier an homage that would remain in his home".
