Publisher Maeght decided to ask Chagall to make a few large scale lithographs but his request did not specify neither the size nor theme for the group. The subject matter was left completely to Chagall. Once Chagall started the project he became completely absorbed in it, ultimately going far beyond the scope of Maeght's request. Chagall asked Charles Sorlier for the largest dimensions that his presses were capable of printing. The project encompassed fourteen large graceful and poetic lithographs.
