Man with a Samovar 1922 - 1923

Marc Chagall’s 1922-1923 lithograph, *Man with a Samovar*, is a striking example of the artist’s signature style, characterized by vibrant colors and an ethereal, dreamlike quality. The artwork depicts a man, possibly a self-portrait, with a prominent beard and a samovar, a traditional Russian teapot, in the foreground. Chagall, known for his exploration of Jewish identity and folklore, often incorporated everyday objects and scenes from his life into his art. The use of bold lines and the subject matter evoke a sense of both intimacy and mystery, inviting the viewer to delve into the artist’s inner world.
