Artifact 3

3. “This is my first wife, Bella Rosenfeld Chagall. We met each other when I was still an apprentice to Leon Bakst. I believe the moment we saw each other, we fell in love. We married in 1915 and moved to Petrograd where my first and only daughter, Ida, was born. Bella was the subject of many of my paintings including ‘Bella with White Collar’ and several others. Sadly, in 1944, my Bella died from a viral infection in New York, located in the United States.”
