Slavyanskaya, leningrad zh-3687 portraits of old men and women are not uncommon in the works of venetsianov himself and his students. They express the artist’s purely realistic view of the world and man. In the elderly portraits of venetsianov’s students, as a rule, the age of the depicted person suggests a life filled with work and experiences. The painting by slavyansky, a student of venetsianov, is distinguished by a detailed, and most importantly, emphatically reliable transfer of signs of age and accessories. Date: 1840s.
