The artwork, named “Promised Land”, was crafted by the artist Marc Chagall in 1985 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. This piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is classified under the genre of sketch and study. It measures 65 x 50 cm.
The artwork features a seemingly chaotic but contemplative composition, characteristic of Chagall’s style in his sketches and studies. The drawing is rich with intricate line work and a sense of spontaneity. The central part of the piece appears to depict a crowd or densely packed figures, their forms barely hinted at through a tangle of lines. Above the mass of figures, a large, circular element dominates the composition, perhaps representing a celestial body or significant symbol. To the right, a smaller, more defined form, possibly a figure holding an object, adds a touch of narrative or action to the scene. The overall impression is one of dynamism and emotional depth, achieved with minimal yet expressive detailing.
