The artwork titled “The Creation of Man” is a piece by Marc Chagall, dating back to circa 1958 in France. Executed in pencil on paper, this sketch and study falls under the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and measures 18.2 by 12 cm.
The artwork showcases a simple and freeform sketch composed of various human and abstract shapes. At the upper part, it depicts a central, larger figure with outstretched arms surrounded by swirling lines, possibly suggesting a divine or creative force. Adjacent to this figure, additional human forms are perceptible, along with several other curved and elongated shapes. The lower section of the sketch reveals another prominent figure centrally positioned, possibly portraying a moment of interaction or creation. The artwork maintains an unrefined and spontaneous quality, characteristic of Naïve Art, with its loose, flowing lines and minimalistic detail.
