MARC CHAGALL Le Mulet sous la Lune, 1972

This original double-page lithograph, titled "Le Mulet sous la Lune", was printed on pages 14 and 15 of Derrière le Miroir (DLM) No. 198, published in 1972 by Maeght Editeur. The artwork features a fold down the center, as issued, as part of the magazine’s typical large-format layout. In this whimsical composition, Marc Chagall depicts himself as a mule, a recurring motif symbolizing both burden and creativity. His wife, Bella, lies peacefully below, under the gaze of a crescent moon, evoking themes of love, fantasy, and Chagall's deep connection to both Bella and nature.
