“Study to ‘Song of Songs III'” is an artwork by Marc Chagall. Created in 1960 in France, this piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and is classified as a sketch and study. It is a part of Chagall’s series titled “Song of Songs.”
The artwork is an abstract composition that features a gentle interplay of lines, shapes, and colors. A predominantly yellow background provides a warm, golden hue, enhanced with splashes of red, purple, and muted green. In the upper left corner, an elongated figure with a suggestion of purple adds a vertical element to the drawing. A notable red circle occupies the upper right quadrant, within which a form resembling a butterfly or bird is discernible. Additional abstract shapes and faint, sketch-like forms extend across the piece, suggesting movement and fluidity. The signatures “Chagall” and a date inscription in the lower right lend authenticity to this intricate and contemplative work.
