The Comité Marc Chagall has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
Le peintre en rouge is a lyrical celebration of love and life brimming with the mystery and life-enhancing wonder that suffuse Chagall's works. The main couple looms over the roofs of a town that appears to resemble the artist's childhood home in Vitebsk. The pair are romantic characters within the swirling drama of the picture. An intriguing assortment of strange and dream-like elements float through the picture, ranging from the artist at his easel to various figures and a rooster, as though a cast of characters and nostalgic facets from Chagall's past has burst into life on its surface. In the work, Chagall is represented not only as the central figure of the rooster but also as the artist at his easel, painting a lively bouquet of flowers against a midnight sky.
