Can a painting make you feel time passing?

Marc Chagall was known for his dreamlike scenes filled with colour, memory and symbolism. His work often blends personal history with imagination, creating images that feel both intimate and timeless.

This piece will be offered for sale in our Fine Pictures, Prints & Sculptures auction on Thursday 26th March with an estimate of £25,000 to £35,000.
