The artwork, titled “Paradise,” created by Marc Chagall in 1961 in France, is rendered using Indian ink, pastel, and paper. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study, with dimensions measuring 33.5 x 48 cm.
This vibrant composition features a dreamlike amalgamation of whimsical figures and abstract forms in a palette dominated by blues and greens. Abstract representations of various animals, trees, and celestial motifs permeate the space, intertwining with ethereal human forms. In the lower left corner, a yellow-hued figure sits serenely, contrasting with the swirling, dynamic elements surrounding it. The scene exudes a sense of fantastical wonder, characteristic of Chagall’s surrealist approach, immersing the viewer into an otherworldly paradise filled with mystical and symbolic imagery.
