In 1977, the French surrealist master Marc Chagall was honored with the highest honor, the Le Grand-Croixde la Legion d'honneur, bestowed by the French government. In the same year, the centre Pompidou organized an exhibition titled "Marc Chagall: 1967-1977 Recent Works," which took place at the Pavillon de Flore in the southwest of the Louvre in October." Le peintre ailé au chevalet," was drawn by Chagall for his friend Robert Villiers on the frontispiece of the exhibition catalogue, symbolizing a friendly gift between the two. The painting depicts a painter with golden wings, wearing a blue shirt, holding a palette and brush, leaning in concentration over a still life of flowers on an easel. American writer Henry Miller once described Chagall as "a poet with wings," illustrating the artist's boundless imagination, free spirit, and creativity. The artist uses simple lines with added color crayon to outline the moon and the rooster at the figure's feet, creating an overall atmosphere of light-hearted warmth that reflects the artist's current state of happiness and contentment.
