It serves as a reminder that even fictional figures can leave an everlasting impression on our hearts. "The Ploughman, " painted by Il ya Repin in 1887 (1965), depicts Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy himself engaged in manual labor – symbolizing his connection to nature while emphasizing simplicity over materialism; themes prevalent throughout his works.
