The artwork titled “Couple with a Bird” was created by Marc Chagall in 1959 in France. It is a lithograph on paper, measuring 48.5 x 32.5 cm, and belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This piece is a genre painting.
The artwork features a pair of figures, intimately entwined, with a bird resting on their heads. Rendered in monochromatic tones, the couple appears enmeshed in a dreamlike scenario. Surrounding them is a flourishing array of floral patterns and a crescent moon, contributing to the enchanting and surreal atmosphere that characterizes Marc Chagall’s unique artistic vision. The expression and positioning of the figures suggest a strong emotional bond, while the bird introduces a whimsical and symbolic element to the composition.
