Figure of Entertainer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Figure of Entertainer" by Marc Chagall depicts a small, rough-hewn figurine. The figurine is made of a gray material, likely stone or metal. It features a humanoid form with a bulbous base and a body that tapers upward. The figure has two arms bent at the elbow and positioned in front of its chest. The head is shaped with two small circular eyes and a small nose and mouth area, giving it a primitive appearance. The surface is textured and speckled with darker spots. The background of the image is white with a slight shadow cast by the figurine to the right.
