The artwork, titled “Untitled” and crafted by Marc Chagall in 1973 in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation, is a notable piece within the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. Executed in pastel and pencil on paper, this work falls under the genre of sketch and study and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a simplified, whimsical rendering of an animal head, primarily accentuated by minimalist lines and a patch of blue pastel representing its face. The animal appears to be holding a small bouquet of red and green florals in its mouth, adding a touch of color contrast to the otherwise subdued palette. The overall composition exudes a playful yet delicate essence, characteristic of Chagall’s distinctive style. The annotations and the artist’s signature further authenticate and personalize the piece.
