The artwork, titled “Bella in Mourillon,” was created by the renowned artist Marc Chagall in 1926 while in Paris, France. This oil painting on canvas measures 47 by 65 centimeters and belongs to the Surrealism art movement. Portraying a portrait genre, the artwork is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork features a serene and ethereal scene rendered in predominantly blue hues. On the left side, the faint figure of a woman, presumably Bella, is depicted with her face gazing downward in a contemplative manner. Her form is softly blended into the background, contributing to the dreamy and melancholy atmosphere. To the right, a large bouquet of flowers adds a contrast with its vibrant whites, pinks, and greens. The flowers appear tenderly arranged in a vase, showcasing a gentle and harmonious composition. The piece encapsulates a delicate balance between the human element and the natural world, characteristic of Chagall’s emotive and poetic style.
