The artwork titled “Lot’s Daughters” by Marc Chagall, created in 1931 in Paris, France, is a gouache on paper piece belonging to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. Measuring 63.5 x 48 cm, the artwork is a religious painting.
The artwork encapsulates a biblical scene featuring Lot and his daughters post the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The composition displays vivid hues and slightly distorted figures characteristic of Chagall’s style, emphasizing emotional and symbolic aspects over realistic representation. The presence of the figures, rendered with a blend of naivety and expressive intensity, contributes to a compelling and evocative portrayal of this ancient narrative. The use of gouache and paper medium lends a tactile and intimate quality to the depiction, aligning with the primitive and direct approach prominent in Naïve Art.
