In the mid- to late-1920s, Chagall traveled to Normandy and Brittany, to the Pontoise of Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro, and to spa towns like Cételguyon, where in 1927 'he met his compatriot Chaïm Soutine' (Compton, op. cit., p. 21). The present work bears the influence of the French countryside's radiant light and resplendent colour. But rather than painting en plein air, as his Impressionist forerunners in the region had done, Chagall more often stayed indoors, painting the view through the frame of his window. The window is a recurring motif in Chagall's oeuvre, both as a compositional device and a metaphorical symbol. In the present work, the window frame occupies the left side of the canvas, virtually cutting the picture in half. The eight panes of the window further break down the composition, dividing this half into eight smaller segments. That two of these panels are obscured by the blooming bouquet only heightens the tension between the interior and exterior realms that are depicted. Chagall is on the inside, looking out, and the viewer is in the privileged position of sharing his perspective. Symbolically, the window creates a fluid boundary between the real and the imaginary, the flowering present and the fading past. In this way, the town on the other side of this window can read as Vitebsk, the village of Chagall's homeland, and his memory.

Marc Chagall (1887 – 1985) was a Russian-French artist. Chagall was considered as pioneer of modern art and one of its greatest figurative painters who invented a visual language that recorded the thrill and terror of the 20th century. For decades, he has been respected as the world's preeminent Jewish artist. "When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is".
