Details:"Naomi and her daughters-in-law" Chagall began his painting voyage through the life of Ruth with this theme (Ruth 1,1-14). It shows Naomi, Ruth’s mother-in-law, deeply bonded with her two daughters-in-law. Naomi, who lost her husband and later both of her sons due to a famine, is now alone with Ruth and Orpa. The lives the three women lead without any male support was hard and strenuous, and they only managed to survive thanks to their close bonds. Naomi is worried about the lives of her two daughters-in-law and wants to send them back home so that they can get married again. While Orpa obeys Naomi’s selfless plea, Ruth stays in Bethlehem with her mother-in-law, who would be lost without her. In doing so, Ruth lives up to her name, which means “friend”. Marc Chagall dedicated a sequence of five lithographs to the chapter of Ruth. This one is the first on the woman who became Boaz’ wife and consequently King David’s primordial mother through love, faithfulness and consistency.
