Description:

|
The Grey House is one of a series of canvases painted by Chagall in his native city, Vitebsk, during the First World War. In this view of the old town, whose recognizable landmarks include the steeple of the Cathedral of the Assumption, the central feature is the wooden house in the foreground, typical of those found along the banks of the River Dvina. Here, Chagall blends the Cubist techniques learnt during his Paris years, varying planes and shifting perspectives, with fantastical elements such as the sinuous clouds and the small figure on the left, which might be a self-portrait.
