Expressing a sense of peacefulness and solitude, this work is full of detailed and active line work. The two figures on the left appear at rest with serene expressions on their faces, while a large bouquet sits on the right. Brightly colored with purple, red, and green, a yellow bird sits just above the flowers in front of a window. The lyrical quality of this piece reflects the artist's use of dreamlike imagery and bright colors as seen throughout Chagall's work.
