Chagall Portrait aux Fruits

Marc Chagall's Portrait aux Fruits is a drawing that originally came from the artist's estate with a stamped signature. I suspect Chagall was joking around just a bit when he created this and wasn't quite sure what to make of the results. It's a beautiful drawing, but on the other hand it's not always easy to be taken seriously when one draws a person wearing a hat made of fruit.
