The artwork, titled “Paradise,” was created in 1951 by Marc Chagall during his time in France. The piece, which adheres to the Surrealism art movement, is rendered in pencil on paper and measures 25 by 33 centimeters. It falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork exhibits an array of loosely sketched figures and forms, characteristic of a preliminary study. The fluid lines and whimsical imagery evoke a dream-like atmosphere, typical of Surrealist aesthetics. Various elements, such as human figures, animals, and abstract shapes, blend and intertwine, hinting at an otherworldly narrative. This sketch captures the essence of Chagall’s unique artistic vision, portraying an amalgamation of fantastical elements with a light and almost ethereal pencil touch.
