“A Jonah’s Boat” is a 1977 lithograph on paper created by Marc Chagall in France. The artwork, measuring 64 x 47.5 cm, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is categorized as a religious painting.
The artwork portrays a scene with a boat carrying several human figures, possibly representing a biblical story. In the tumultuous waters surrounding the boat, another figure appears to be struggling. Hovering above, an angelic or supernatural form seems to be observing or attempting to assist. The use of muted colors and ethereal forms imbues the piece with a mystical and spiritual ambiance.
