EDITORS COMMENTS
His Excellency Caught a Chill: A Portrait of Rest and Convalescence by Boris Vasilievich Smirnov (1904) This evocative pencil and coloured pencil drawing by Russian artist Boris Vasilievich Smirnov captures the essence of rest and convalescence in the early 20th century. The image, titled 'His Excellency Caught a Chill. Resting at his Dacha near Irkutsk, 1904,' depicts a well-dressed man, likely of high social standing, taking a break from his daily routine. The man, with a full beard and donning a military uniform complete with decorations and a fur hat, sits on the porch of a stately country house, or dacha, located near the Siberian city of Irkutsk. He wears glasses and holds a blanket over his legs, indicating that he has 'caught a chill' and is taking the time to recover. Smirnov, who traveled through Siberia by prisoner transport in 1904, created a series of drawings and watercolors of the people and places he encountered during his journey. This portrait is a testament to the artist's keen observation and ability to capture the human condition. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of rest and the simple pleasures of country life, even in the face of adversity. The drawing is a valuable addition to the Heritage of Russian and Siberian art and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the region. The drawing is currently housed in the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife in Russia and is a testament to the meeting of frontiers between art, fashion, and history. The man's attire, with its military uniform and decorations, is a reflection of the time period and the social hierarchy of the Russian Empire. The image is a snapshot of a moment in history, a still image that invites us to imagine the stories of the people and places that Smirnov encountered during his journey.
