The Meal at Dryas’s House 1961

Marc Chagall’s 1961 lithograph “The Meal at Dryas’s House” depicts a whimsical scene of a gathering in a village setting, with a group of people seated at a table in the center, surrounded by figures and objects floating in the air. Chagall's signature style is evident in the vibrant colors, flattened perspectives, and dreamlike imagery. The artwork showcases the artist's Jewish heritage and the folk traditions of his native Russia. The use of soft lines and washes adds a delicate and ethereal quality to the composition, inviting viewers into a world of playful and poignant storytelling.
