The present painting is a masterpiece of the artist in which he tells the story of a magician who visited an abandoned village with his donkey
Fateh Moudarres was, from his earliest childhood, in search of magic that he found in the sand, the wind and the infinite landscapes, the natural elements that surrounded him. In order to obtain an almost magical effect, he often used sand which he mixed with colors and glue. The village magician and his donkey is a story invented by the artist when he moved to town. He then turned to painting urban scenes as can be seen in the background of this painting.

In the 1960s, following his travels in Europe, Fateh Moudarres was inspired by the painting of Marc Chagall (1887 -1985). In Le magicien du village et son âne, the composition alludes to the happiness, dreams and compassion that resonate in the work of the Franco-Russian artist.
