During 1969, Marc Chagall produced several original lithographs on the theme of Paris, including Paris from the Window and The Magician of Paris I. Here, the artist depicts an embracing couple in front of a window overlooking Paris’s main monuments – the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame-de-Paris. Marc Chagall’s usual onirism is present: a horse flies through the skies over the capital.
