An Artist-Angel at the Easel 1968

"An Artist-Angel at the Easel" is a 1968 work by Marc Chagall, known for his expressive and whimsical style. The drawing depicts an angel-like figure at an easel, possibly a self-portrait, with a simplified, almost child-like quality. This work, like many of Chagall's, combines elements of the real and the surreal, showcasing his signature use of vivid colors and fantastical imagery. Chagall's work is characterized by its dreamlike and poetic nature, often reflecting his Jewish heritage and experiences in Russia. The sketch is a testament to his artistic mastery in capturing the essence of his artistic vision with simple, yet powerful lines.
