Le nu au bouquet demonstrates Marc Chagall’s ability to transform even the most everyday of subjects into a magical, dreamlike scene. A large bouquet, a standard traditional still-life motif, is accompanied by an ethereal figure that floats among the flowers while a nude female stands to the right foreground of the work, holding a basket of fruit. Displaying a basket of fruit adjacent to the large bouquet conveys a sense of warmth and plenitude that traditionally characterises the months of spring and summer. It perhaps alludes to the happiness, love, and contentment that Chagall felt at this time, as he enjoyed an idyllic life in the South of France with his second wife, Vava.
