In this vibrant lithograph, Chagall depicts the biblical story of David and Bathsheba through his signature dreamlike style, combining rich jewel tones with fluid, expressive figures that seem to float within the composition. Characteristic of his deeply personal approach to religious narrative, the scene weaves together symbolic imagery and romantic poetry, reflecting Chagall's lifelong fascination with Jewish scripture and folklore. The work is part of his monumental Bible series, in which he devoted decades to interpreting sacred stories through the luminous, emotionally charged language of color and form.
