Marc Chagall with his second wife, Valentine "Vava" Brodsky and Carleton Smith, editor of Esquire and European correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune. Saint-Paul-de-Vence 1953.

In Saint-Paul-de-Vence, 1953, Marc Chagall stands with his second wife, Valentine "Vava" Brodsky, and Carleton Smith, editor of Esquire. Vava, smiling in a patterned blouse, is positioned at the center on a stone landing. To her left, Chagall is dressed casually in a plaid shirt and open-toed sandals, while Smith appears more formal in a dark suit. The group is captured in bright sunlight at the top of an outdoor staircase, creating strong contrasts and distinct shadows against the white-walled building.
