The artwork titled “Then he spent the night with her…” was created by Marc Chagall in 1948. This piece belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and falls under the genre of illustration. It is part of Chagall’s series called “The Arabian Nights”.
The artwork features an ethereal and dreamlike scene, employing a vivid color palette dominated by blues, greens, and yellows. A central figure, likely a male, is depicted lying down with an arm reaching toward the upper part of the painting, connecting with a female figure whose flowing hair cascades beside him. The background suggests a fantastical landscape, enhanced by abstract shapes and elements like a bird in flight and another small creature, enriching the narrative quality of the piece. The composition harmonizes Chagall’s characteristic whimsical and otherworldly style, effectively merging love and fantasy in a captivating visual narrative.
