Marigolds
We're talking of flowers ("worries" are implicit) here, I suppose!!

: Yes, they are marigolds, but in speaking of the Chagall print, I think the title is usually left in French

: Agree with John - you'll need to spend a long time googling the net to find any reference to "The Marigolds by Chagall" - but there are hundreds of EN-language sites with "Les Soucis by Chagall".

: "Les soucis" by Chagall depict flowers (soucis are also flowers in French, they're marigolds or calendula oficinalis). I think "Troubles" is restrictive or might even be inaccurate.

Discussion
As John Detre has pointed out, it is usually left in FR. I've googled different variants of "Marigolds by Marc Chagall" and drawn a blank, but there are many EN web sites (often selling posters of his work) where you'll find the title in FR.
You should keep " les soucis " as title, but add a translator's note giving the french equivalents i.e "marigolds" & "worries".
