“The Story of the Rooster. The little goat,” is an illustration by Marc Chagall, an artist renowned for his contributions to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This artwork measures 15.5 x 11.7 cm and can be found at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme in Paris, France.
The artwork features a monochromatic drawing bordered by an oval frame. On the right side, a rooster, wearing a hat, stands atop a set of stairs. A goat rests at the bottom of the steps, partially leaning against them. The simplicity of the illustration aligns with Chagall’s Naïve Art style, characterized by a child-like perspective and an emphasis on narrative. The left side contains text, possibly a story or poem, written in a script that appears to be Yiddish, reflecting Chagall’s cultural heritage. The overall composition combines elements of folklore and whimsy, hallmarks of Chagall’s artistic vision.
