Through Chagall’s captivating and folkloric imagery, Sara et Les Angels (Sarah and the Angels), 1960 from Drawings from the Bible, radiates a sense of warmth and celebration into this Biblical interpretation. Veiled in a soft glow, a humble Sarah bows in reverence. Capturing the essence of her character’s story, the subjects arise from a rich textural background and highlighted in a brilliant red, materializing from expressive markings and tonal breadths of darkness. Displaying sensitivity to the human experience, this stunning piece is emblematic of Chagall’s unique vision of the Bible that exudes spirit and whimsy.
Created in 1960, this color lithograph from the Drawings for the Bible Series. 
Numbered from the edition of 50 in pencil in the lower left margin, this work is printed by Mourlot, Paris and published by VERVE, Paris.
