"Walk" is not a single painting by Marc Chagall but part of a triptych. The first part is the painting "Double portrait", showing preparations for flight: in it the artist has depicted himself sitting on the shoulders of Bella. The other part — "Above the city" — shows the joint flight. The artist used this technique as a kind of metaphor, symbolizing the freedom from earth's gravity that gives a person love.
Today these works live their lives. The painting "Above the city" is in the Tretyakov gallery. "Double portrait" was donated by the artist in 1949, to the Paris Museum of arts. Paris. Marc Chagall painting "the Walk" is part of the Russian Museum."
