The artwork titled “Itinerant Players” was created by Marc Chagall in 1963 in France. This lithograph on paper measures 32.5 by 25 cm and belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. The genre of this artwork is “genre painting,” depicting scenes from everyday life with a sense of simplicity and directness characteristic of the Naïve Art movement.
The artwork showcases a whimsical scene featuring musicians, animated with playful and expressive lines. The figures appear to be performing, each holding a musical instrument. One figure is playing a wind instrument, while another is engaged with a string instrument, possibly a violin. Accompanying them is a bird, adding a fantastical touch to the composition. The overall effect is one of humor and charm, reflecting Chagall’s unique style and his ability to capture the joy and eccentricities of life.
