This one of four life-size figures placed in the intervals between the windows of the theater depicts a traditional muse of the Jewish theater. Chagall portrays the essential constituents of the national Jewish theater in the form of the badchan (the minstrel and jester at Jewish weddings), the violinist, the schadchan (marriage broker), and the scribe, copying down the Torah. | |||
