The artwork titled “Couple of Peasants,” created by Marc Chagall in 1967 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, belongs to the Surrealism art movement. This lithographic piece on paper measures 655 x 500 cm and falls under the genre of genre painting.
The artwork portrays two peasant figures depicted in a vivid and whimsical manner characteristic of Chagall’s surrealist style. The peasants, adorned with expressive faces and richly textured clothing, are surrounded by an ethereal environment featuring abstract and colorful elements. The background is a fusion of soft hues, adding to the surreal atmosphere. One of the figures holds a basket, while the other is depicted alongside an animal, which appears to be a reflection of rural life. The overall composition is dreamlike and thought-provoking, inviting viewers into a fantastical interpretation of everyday peasant life.
