Provenance:
- Galerie Francaise, Munich
- Private collection Southern Germany (since 1998)
- Depiction of one of the most important biblical stories, a recurring theme in Chagall's oeuvre
- The reduced colour panel with its deliberately placed white accents underlines the atmospheric character of the depicted dream scene of Jacob.
- For Chagall, the bible was one of the greatest sources of poetry and his biblical images less religious representation than poetic expression of universality.
