Beschreibung
A 1910 portrait of the artist's sister, Aniuta, rendered in a bold, expressive style with a focus on colour and form.
Painted in 1910, this portrait of Marc Chagall's sister, Aniuta, captures a period of transition in the artist's early career. Before his move to Paris, Chagall produced several works depicting his family members in his hometown of Vitebsk. This piece demonstrates his developing interest in colour and form, moving away from traditional academic representation toward a more personal, expressive style.
The composition features Aniuta seated, her figure occupying the centre of the frame. She wears a striking red jumper paired with a dark skirt and a green beret. The colour choices are deliberate, creating a strong contrast against the pale, somewhat ambiguous background. Chagall employs a simplified approach to the figure, focusing on the weight and presence of his subject rather than precise anatomical detail. The brushwork is direct, showing the artist's hand in the application of pigment across the canvas.
Aniuta's expression is calm, with her gaze directed slightly away from the viewer. The inclusion of the blue patterned fabric at the base of the composition adds a textural element, grounding the figure within the space. This portrait offers a glimpse into Chagall's domestic life during his formative years. It reflects the influence of his Russian roots while hinting at the stylistic shifts he would soon encounter within the Parisian avant-garde circles. The work remains a clear example of his early portraiture, where the focus is on the emotional resonance of the sitter rather than mere physical likeness. The simplicity of the setting ensures that the viewer's attention remains fixed on the subject, allowing for a direct engagement with the personality of the artist's sister.

Artist Biography
Marc Chagall
He was born Moishe Shagal in 1887, in the Pale of Settlement, the restricted zone where Jews were permitted to live in the Russian Empire. His father worked at a herring warehouse. The family was devout Hasidic. After studying in St Petersburg, he went to Paris in 1911 and immersed himself in the Fauvists and Cubists, absorbing their formal innovations without abandoning the narrative imagery of his childhood. The colour and the dreamlike floating figures were already there in Vitebsk. Paris gave him the structure.
He met Bella Rosenfeld, the daughter of a wealthy Vitebsk jeweller, and married her in 1915. She became his primary subject for the next three decades. The flying lovers that recur across his work, gravity-defying couples suspended above rooftops and villages, began with Bella. When she died of a streptococcal infection in New York in September 1944, penicillin existed but the entire supply was reserved for soldiers. He stopped painting for nine months. He continued to paint her memory for the remaining forty-one years of his life.
Picasso once said that when Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is. The friendship ended at a dinner at Chagall's home in 1964. Picasso asked when he was going back to Russia. Chagall replied: after you, I hear you are greatly loved there but not your work. They never spoke again.
His late stained glass commissions are among the strongest work of his final decades: the Peace Window at the United Nations, the twelve windows representing the Tribes of Israel at the Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem, and windows at Metz Cathedral. In 1964, Andre Malraux commissioned him to paint the ceiling of the Paris Opera, a decision that provoked fury from critics who objected to a Russian-born Jewish artist working inside a French Baroque monument. He lived to ninety-seven.
