Mother's Grave 1922

"Mother's Grave" is a 1922 etching by Marc Chagall. The artwork depicts a figure kneeling before a tombstone, with a Star of David and the Hebrew word "Pee" inscribed on it. The figure appears to be mourning the loss of a loved one, perhaps his mother. The scene is set against a backdrop of a fence and a building, likely representing the artist's hometown of Vitebsk, Belarus, which is a recurring theme in Chagall's work. This deeply personal and moving print exemplifies Chagall's unique style, which combines elements of Expressionism, Cubism, and Jewish folklore.
