This black and white female nude is a fine example of Marc Chagall's work in ink. In addition to the many coloured works for which the artist is best known, there are also a large number of ink drawings. Thematically, these works are no different from his oil paintings. Here, Chagall devoted himself to the female nude, sitting frontally in a large format. At the top right, a male face can be seen gazing at the seated beauty. The scene embodies love, a recurring theme for the artist: his first wife and great love, Bella Rosenfeld Chagall, often sat for him until her death in 1944, and although she could no longer do so, his nudes and floating lovers always refer to her.
