From the exhibition Chagall: Colour and Music (Exhibition, January 28 to June 11, 2017). Later in 1914 Chagall travelled from Berlin to Vitebsk intending a three-month absence from Paris; however, the outbreak of war in August prevented his return and he remained in Russia and Belarus’ for eight years. He lived in his home village of Vitebsk [now Viciebsk] with the Hassidic community. The house depicted is a typical Russian cottage. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
