Associated Names

Marc Chagall

Artist, Russian, 1887 - 1985

This is a drawing of a village scene with whimsical elements. The image features a slanted house with a chimney, a picket fence, and various landscape elements. Two figures are included in the scene. One figure is standing at the house entrance, which is labeled with Cyrillic letters, while another figure is seated in front of a small structure on a hill, with a rooster nearby. Playful proportions and curved lines contribute to a surreal atmosphere. This scene conveys a whimsical and slightly off-balance rural setting.
