The artwork titled “Tchitchikov’s Dreams” was created by Marc Chagall circa 1923 in Paris, France. Employing the technique of etching on paper, this piece is part of the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and illustrates a scene from the series “Dead Souls.” It is currently housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork primarily features a whimsical scene rendered with delicate, yet expressive etching lines. In the upper section, a carriage appears to float amidst the clouds, possibly symbolizing a dreamlike or surreal state. The lower portion depicts a dynamic scene with figures and horses traversing a landscape. The overall composition blends elements of fantasy and reality, characteristic of Chagall’s unique artistic vision.
