拍品专文

The Comité Marc Chagall has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
The present work is a preparatory study for the prints Marc Chagall made for the Bible, Ed. Verve.

Nimrod is a legendary king and mighty hunter of the Old Testament and according to the Genesis the grandson of Noah. He is associated with the building of the tower of Babel and described as rebellious against God which is the meaning of his name.
