About Sarah and angels

The artwork titled “Sarah and Angels” is a lithograph on paper created in 1960 by the artist Marc Chagall in France. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and measures 52.5 x 38 cm. This piece is a part of the “Bible lithographs (1960)” series and falls under the genre of religious painting.

In “Sarah and Angels,” one can observe a contemplative, ethereal scene rendered in the characteristic style of Chagall. The composition features a humanoid figure, presumably Sarah, depicted in a state of reverence or prayer, with her head bowed and hands clasped. Above her, three angelic figures dominate the upper portion of the artwork, painted with vivid, expressive brushstrokes that evoke a sense of divine presence and otherworldliness. The color palette is a harmonious blend of earthy tones, with splashes of brighter hues accentuating the celestial beings, encapsulating an atmosphere of piety and mysticism.
