The artwork, titled “Small Drawing Room,” was created by Marc Chagall in 1908 in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation. Executed in oil on paper, this piece is part of the Expressionism art movement and falls under the interior genre. Measuring 22.5 by 29 cm, it is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a modest interior scene characterized by its expressive and somewhat abstract representation of furniture and objects within a vibrant color palette. The room includes chairs, a table, a shelving unit, and framed images on the wall, rendered in bold, dark outlines that create a striking contrast against the rich and varied hues of the background. The overall composition captures a sense of intimacy and personal space, typical of the Expressionist style, emphasizing emotional resonance over realistic depiction.
