The artwork, titled “Disrobing her with his own hand…” and created by Marc Chagall in 1948, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This illustration is part of the series “The Arabian Nights,” known for its vivid and imaginative interpretations.
In the artwork, there is a portrayal of an intimate moment between two figures against a vibrant, colorful background. The male figure is depicted disrobing the female figure, emphasizing a sense of tenderness and emotional connection. Chagall employs a luminous palette with hues of pink, yellow, and red, capturing the dreamlike and fantastical essence of the scene. The composition exudes a sense of fluidity and intimacy, characteristic of Chagall’s illustrative style within the broader context of Naïve Art.
