This piece encapsulates the romantic essence of Chagall’s work. A couple are seen in a floating embrace to the upper left of the work along with a mystical fish swimming.
An abundance of green orchard foliage extends into the foreground, only held back by spaces inhabited by flowers – of which some have been coloured in yellow.

Created in 1973, this work is a trial proof and has been hand signed by Marc Chagall in pencil. The final composition was used for the poster exhibition Hommage à Tériade held at the Grand Palais, Paris.
