(image) Handsigned by the artist in pencil Certificate of authenticity Plate for “Behind the Mirror No. 99-100, July-August 1957” Under a deep blue sky, the night star illuminates an abandoned table, where a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine keep the secret of a moonlit rendezvous. Its light suggests this still life, giving the scene an almost sacred calm. In the background, the city stretches out, fragile and distant, like a memory lingering at the edge of consciousness. In this luminous silence, a goat discreetly moves away from the table. It embodies Chagall's soul, a messenger of gentleness and nostalgia, guardian of the link between reality and imagination. And there, in the sky, barely sketched, the face of a man can be glimpsed. Is he a dreamer, a witness, or a reflection of the artist himself? His subtle presence blurs the boundary between the tangible world and the world of dreams. The moon, the goat, and the color blue unite their breaths to celebrate love, memory, and the magic of creation, like a silent breath offered to eternity.
