Chagall creates a fantasy landscape of Paris by night, coupled with a brilliant rooster hovering over the River Seine.  He is joined by another pair of Parisian lovers intertwined near the Eiffel Tower as well as another female figure, presenting a dazzling bouquet. The central figure of the Rooster is brilliantly depicted in a bright ruby red with a tuft of green tail feathers complimenting the bright blues that surround the entire print.  Often viewed as a symbol of good luck and virility, Chagall creates this Rooster wearing a dual profile, including that of a man, over the Parisian night sky.  It awaits the daybreak as two lovers are lingering near the Eiffel Tower longing to stay in the streets of Paris for just a bit longer.  Chagall’s ability to create an illusory movement with the stroke of his hand can be easily seen in this piece, from the banks of the River Seine to the top of the Rooster’s crest, making it the perfect example of his artful mastery.
