The artwork, “Table of Lovers,” created by Marc Chagall in 1983 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, is a lithograph on paper that encapsulates the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This genre painting measures 68 x 47.5 cm and depicts a romantic, dreamlike scene that invites the viewer into a whimsical, yet intimately human experience.
In the artwork, a central large bouquet of flowers dominates the composition, placed on a round table set with various objects, including a bottle and glasses. To the left, a couple is portrayed, sitting and embracing each other, exuding affection and tenderness. Above them, fantastical figures float in the sky, enhancing the surreal atmosphere typical of Chagall’s style. The scene is bordered by a dotted outline, giving it a contained yet ethereal feel. The combination of these elements creates a vivid narrative imbued with romance and idealism, characteristic of the Naïve Art movement.
