The artwork titled “Street in Vitebsk” was created by Marc Chagall in 1914 in Liozna, near Vitebsk, Belarus. Composed using Indian ink on paper, it belongs to the Expressionism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 17 x 25.5 cm, and it falls under the genre painting category.
The artwork depicts a lively street scene in Vitebsk, rendered in Marc Chagall’s characteristic style. Several figures are illustrated in various activities; a horse-drawn cart occupies the central area, laden with assorted items. Two men appear to be engaged in conversation to the left, while other townspeople, including a woman with two children, are scattered throughout the scene. The expressions and postures capture a sense of everyday life and community interaction. The buildings in the background are simply yet distinctively drawn, providing context and setting to the bustling street.
