About this work

This painting features a man in a black suit, his body arched in a dramatic pose. He wears a white shirt and black shoes, with his right arm bent and his left arm extended, holding a small white building. A red floral wreath adorns his left arm. The background is a vibrant yellow, with some text written in a foreign language. The man's pose and attire suggest a sense of elegance and sophistication. The small white building he holds adds a touch of whimsy to the composition. For more works by this artist, explore Marc Chagall's collection.
