Hand signed by March Chagall in pencil in the lower right margin, the work was engraved and printed by Charles Sorlier in collaboration with Marc Chagall on Arches wove paper; the Arches watermark appears vertically in the right margin. On the lower right hand on the reverse side of the sheet, there is printed text which reads, "MARC CHAGALL, MAQUETTE DU VITRAIL 'ZEBULUN', pour Jérusalem, repuroudite en lithographie, Ch Sorlier, graveur - Mourlot, Imp." The engraver's signature also appears in the plate in the lower left hand side. This piece is from a larger edition of 150, numbered in roman numerals 'XV/LXXV' in pencil in the lower left margin. Explosive uses of bold, rich reds swirl throughout the entire composition, allowing for Zebulun's characters to seemingly leap from the work. Highly symbolic and incredibly rich in meaning, the figures also form to create the name, 'Zebulun' in Hebrew letters along the upper area of the piece. According to Jean Leymarie:"Issachar and Zebulun, the two youngest children of Leah, are joined together in the blessing of Moses who assigns to the two tribes a prosperous destiny….Jacob blessed Zebulun and Issachar separately, giving the priority to Zebulun…He predicted for him a maritime vocation, and designated him as 'an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zion.' The ship is the usual symbol for Zebulun.
