A set of twelve original lithographs, 1962. Designed in 1962 by Marc Chagall as early studies for the Jerusalem windows. Printed in Paris by the renowned Atelier Mourlot. The designs of the windows are: Judah, Levi, Simeon, Reuben, Zebulun, Benjamin, Isaachar, Joseph, Dan, Gad, Asher and and Nephtali.
The Twelve Tribes lithographs after Chagall based on preliminary sketches for the Jerusalem stained-glass windows. In 1959 Chagall was commissioned to design twelve stained glass windows for the new synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Centre, situated in the Judean hills west of Jerusalem. The number twelve is considered spiritual and sacred. These magnificent windows symbolise the twelve sons of Jacob from whom sprang the twelve tribes of Israel.
