Marc Chagall (1887-1985): Violinist and Family, signed. Sanguine drawing on white paper, unframed., 23.75x18.75 inches, Good condition, professionally cleaned., Please note that this Chagall artwork was owned by the Ashkenazy Gallery in Los Angeles. In the late 1990's, a flood resulted in a large portion of their inventory to be compensated by their insurer, and was subsequently sold on the secondary market. These works have not been appraised by a third party. The dollar amounts on the insurance inventory document were the amounts the insurance company paid to the gallery. This piece was listed as having an insured value of $30,000.

The paper shows mild rolling on the edges, and a fluid pattern of dried sanguine dust, verso, the result of professional cleaning. The face of the drawing appears pristine, with no evidence of water damage., Ashkenazy Gallery,Los Angeles
