Aquired from the above by the present owners in 1987.<BR><BR>Painted in the 1930s. Since his childhood<BR><BR>Chagall was fascinated by butchers and cows<BR><BR>and one of his earliest gouaches dated 1910 depicts the same subject (M36; Private collection<BR><BR>Moscow). It recalls the memories of young Marc from his frequent visits to his the village of his grandfather<BR><BR>Lyozno<BR><BR>next to Vitebsk. Chagall gives a full account of his grandfather's activity as a butcher in "My Life" as he remembers a "big-bellied cow" being slaughtered<BR><BR>"the butcher<BR><BR>in black and white<BR><BR>knife in hand<BR><BR>is rolling up his sleeves. The prayer is hardly over before he holds her neck and runs the steel into her throat. Torrents of blood". Intrigued by the animal<BR><BR>Chagall seems to have had compassion for the cow<BR><BR>"And you<BR><BR>little cow<BR><BR>naked and crucified<BR><BR>you are dreaming in heaven. The glittering knife has raised you to the skies" (My Life<BR><BR>p. 20). The present drawing<BR><BR>dated circa 1930<BR><BR>schematically drawn with genuine pen lines<BR><BR>captures the essence of the forthcoming action of slaughter. Whilst Chagall worked in his studio in Paris<BR><BR>La Ruche<BR><BR>he would often visit the slaughterhouse situated nearby<BR><BR>as would his fellow artist Chaïm Soutine (1893-1943). In his various versions of ox carcasses<BR><BR>Soutine also shares Chagall's interest in the animal's slaughter. The ink drawing by Chagall echoes one of his compositions executed in La Ruche entitled<BR><BR>The Slaughterhouse<BR><BR>1913-1914 (M 215; Private collection<BR><BR>California)<BR><BR>a striking painting illustrating the violent death of cows which Chagall remembered so well.
