If I recall there are some hidden dragonflies in the works of Chagall

The dragonfly was an especially popular art nouveau motif, a favorite of Lalique, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Émile Gallé, all of whom would have seen examples in Japanese art. Probably its popularity in France grew after translation of a series of Japanese poems (Judith Gautier, Poëmes de la libellule [Poems of the Dragonfly], 1885).

Louis Comfort Tiffany used both leaves and dragon flies in his glass work. We were to a special exbition of his work recently and saw a the beautiful Lamp with Dragonfly Motif(1900-1910). Also saw the Lotus Lamp(c. 1900). Those are two specific works that we saw but I believe leaves, dragon flies, flowers, water...nature in general were among his favorite designs.
