L’Ecolier 1925

Marc Chagall’s 1925 painting "L’Ecolier" depicts a young boy, seemingly an adolescent student, sitting outside a window, holding a book. The vibrant colors and whimsical composition are characteristic of Chagall's style, which is often influenced by his Jewish heritage and the folklore of his native Vitebsk, Belarus. The window, with its yellow frame and blue panes, represents the world outside, while the boy, perched on the ledge, symbolizes youthful curiosity and dreams. Chagall's works are known for their dreamlike quality and their exploration of human emotion.
