Esquisse pour l’affiche ‘Le ciel Bleu’ ou Profils vert et orange c. 1964

Marc Chagall's *Esquisse pour l’affiche ‘Le ciel Bleu’ ou Profils vert et orange*, a gouache on paper, was likely created in 1964. This artwork is a good example of Chagall's use of color and line. The artist's signature style of abstract and expressive forms is evident in the composition. Notably, the work features a prominent female figure with her face composed of a bold green and orange palette, showcasing Chagall's distinct approach to portraiture. This study for a poster, also known as a sketch or an *esquisse*, was likely intended for *Le Ciel Bleu* (The Blue Sky), highlighting the artist's involvement with the graphic arts.
