Original art hand-rendered and signed by Marc Chagall on the frontispiece of his book ''Marc Chagall de Draeger,'' published by Draeger-Vilo: Paris: 1979. The great modernist employs wax crayon, pen, brush and India ink to execute a work directly onto the frontispiece. He inscribes the page opposite: ''Pour Ingrid et Alfred en bon souvenir Chagall''. Dated 1979 to the lower left. The drawing's stark black birds alighting in the tree provide a quintessential example of Chagall's use of color to create movement in a piece. Measures 11.75'' x 11''. Near fine. With provenance from Christie's.
