About A couple in twilight

“A Couple in Twilight” by Marc Chagall, created in 1980 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, is a lithograph on paper. The artwork, measuring 116 x 75.5 cm, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and falls under the genre of genre painting.

The artwork depicts a scene with two figures, presumably a couple, set against a twilight backdrop. The left figure, adorned in attire reminiscent of a performer or a harlequin, holds a bouquet of green foliage. The other figure, to the right, stands with a serene yet pensive expression, dressed in a form-fitting garment that delineates her figure. The scene is bathed in soft, twilight hues dominated by the blue sky and the soft glow of the moon. The background hints at a village setting, with faint outlines of buildings and trees, evoking a pastoral serenity. Chagall’s characteristic surreal and dreamlike quality is evident through the soft, flowing lines and the ethereal ambiance, capturing a moment that seems both timeless and intimate.
