The image shows a large, semi-circular shape on the left divided by a sharp, zig-zagging line. The shape is textured with a stippled effect. Adjacent to this are two angular green shapes linked by a narrow connector. Delicate, flowing lines extend from these shapes. The overall arrangement gives a sense of abstract nature, where geometric forms take on characteristics of familiar, natural objects.

L'aube

André Beaudin · probably 1975 · lithograph in brown and green on wove paper ·  Accession ID  1988.47.1

This print depicts three figures composed of abstract shapes and areas of bold color. The central figure is a woman facing forward, her skin and curly hair highlighted by areas of bright blue. Her facial features are abstract, and she wears a long garment colored in bright green. She is holding a vibrant bouquet of flowers made up of black outlines with overlapping circles of red and blue. Behind her, there is an abstract red figure with outstretched arms that appears to be flying in an area of bright yellow. It appears mostly human, but one of its arms looks like a bird's wing. Behind this figure and to the right is the minimal outline of another figure with long legs and no visible arms, who looks down to the right. Aside from the areas of color, the background is plain, yellowed paper. The signature "Marc Chagall" is visible in the top left and bottom left corners. The title "PRINTS FROM THE MOURLOT PRESS" is printed in black in the bottom right corner.
