The backdrop for Daphnis and Chloe is typical of Chagall's abstractions, this time with the lovers in an embrace hovering over the dancers.  Chagall was a modern painter with abstract images and colors used in a way that definitely suggests the reality of what is happening.  He said the use of yellow in this backdrop suggests flowers.  The lovers embrace at the finale of the dance.

The costumes for the dancers were designed by Chagall.
