Chagall, Boca Raton Museum of Art, Florida, USA, Jan. – Mar. 2002., David McNeil, the Artist's son, Paris, by descent from the Artist. Acquired from the above by the present owners in 1987., Accompanied by a a photo-certificate from David McNeil, the artist's son. After his short apprenticeship at Jehuda Pen's painting school, Chagall and his close friend Viktor Mekler moved to St. Petersburg in the winter of 1906. Jews required a resident permit to work and live in the city, but with the help of Grigory Goldberg, a patron of arts, Chagall was accepted at an art school. He joined the Imperial Society for the Promotion of the Arts led by Nikolai Roerich, renowned for the designs he made for Sergeï Diaghilev (1872-1929). This school was considered to be liberal, although students sought the traditional principles of drawing in order to pass the exams for the academy. Chagall preferred to draw in his own style and he much criticized the traditional drawing of 'numerous plaster heads of Greek and Roman citizens projected from every corner and I, poor provincial, had to pore over the wretched nostrils of Alexander of Macedon - or some other plaster idiot' (My Life, p. 81). The young artist showed more interest in representing his fellow students drawing the model, rather than copying the model itself, as is clearly reflected in the present work. With a caricature hint, Chagall depicts the serious students, occasionally enhancing individual traits. Marc's skills as a draughtsman singled him out amongst the four best students of the school and he was awarded a small scholarship. However, some teachers criticized his anti-academic attitude, leading Chagall to leave Roerich's school in July 1908.,

3. Before making a decision to purchase any item in the Catalogue, the buyer must carry out an independent examination of all the details concerning the item, its origin, condition, nature and value and any other detail relevant to the decision concerning the purchase of the item.
4. Participation in the auction is conditional upon receiving an auction paddle from the Auction House.

6. A buyer who wishes to purchase an item without being present at the auction and/or participate on the telephone must complete and sign a bid form and deliver it to the Auction House before the day of the auction.

11. An item which appears in the Catalogue and is marked is an item which arrived from overseas for the auction. The tax laws of Israel apply to such an item, which means the Winning Buyer shall have to pay value added tax on the purchase price and on the Auction House’s commission.
12. Any item which is purchased by a non Israeli (overseas) resident and the consideration for is paid in foreign currency, and is taken out of Israel’s borders, is exempt from payment of value-added tax.

In the event the Winning Buyer has not yet fulfilled his obligations entirely within 14 days from the day of the auction, the Auction House shall be entitled to sell the item to another buyer or return it to its owner, without derogating from any relief and/or right available to the Auction House due to the damage caused by the breach of the buyer’s obligations.
