Incredibly bold and bright with rich color saturation throughout the entire print, Le soir d'été (The Summer Evening), 1968 is full of Chagall's traditional iconography most widely recognized in his color lithographs.

Having been inspired by his immediate Parisian surroundings during this period, this work also reflects the complete sensory experience one can find while immersed one of Chagall's opulent and colorful prints.
