The artwork titled “Study to ‘Exodus'”, created by Marc Chagall around 1966 in France, is rendered in pencil on paper. This piece is associated with the Surrealism art movement and measures 14 by 11.4 centimeters. It is classified under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork consists of quick, flowing pencil lines that suggest a seated human figure, possibly in contemplation or prayer. The simplicity and abstraction in the form are characteristic of a preliminary study, with the artist focusing on capturing the essence and movement of the subject rather than intricate detail. The figure’s posture and the surrounding lines evoke a sense of ethereal motion and spiritual depth, consistent with Chagall’s signature style. The background is blank, drawing attention solely to the fluid and expressive lines that form the subject of the piece.
