Marc Chagall’s Intérieur avec grand bouquet et deux perruches is a tender and intimate work that captures the poetic stillness of domestic life through a dreamy, near-transparent web of pencil lines. Created in the final years of his life, this drawing blends still life and symbolic imagery with the ease and fluidity that mark Chagall’s mature style.
At the centre of the composition, a grand bouquet explodes with organic energy - its mass of wild flowers and leaves rendered with a restless, spontaneous touch. Two parakeets hover nearby, subtle yet full of presence, infusing the scene with a quiet sense of companionship and wonder. On the table below, a basket of fruit and domestic objects - bottle, glass, bread- anchor the composition in the familiar rhythms of everyday life.
Despite the monochromatic palette, the drawing is rich with emotional warmth and vitality. Chagall’s line, at once fragile and confident, moves freely between precision and suggestion, allowing the viewer to drift between representation and reverie. The interior becomes a sanctuary of memory and imagination, where love, nature, and simplicity quietly converge.
Intérieur avec grand bouquet et deux perruches is not merely a still life - it is a reflection on the beauty of the ordinary, suffused with the lyricism that defines Chagall’s lifelong artistic vision.
