The birth of the daughter, Ida, in the
spring of 1916, becomes the focus of
numerous intimate domestic family
portraits, including The Infant's Bath
(1916) and The Wedding (1918), in

struggle forcing Chagall to resign. The
family moved to Moscow in 1 9 - 20,
where Chagall created his famous
murals for the newly established State
Jewish Chamber Theater.
These splendid murals occupy four
walls of a gallery that approximates the
size of the original theater, immersing
