When Chagall moved to Paris from his home city, Vitebsk (in modern Belarus), he lived in an artists' colony known as La Ruche (The Beehive) in the neighborhood of Montparnasse. He may have may have painted this lively image of firework-like decorations, a green-tinged woman, and conversing men from observations of the Montparnasse café scene. The man standing and reading outside the green partition could be a portrait of Chagall's father, who was a Hasidic Jew.
