Going for a Visit,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating watercolor painting by Russian artist Boris Vasilievich Smirnov, depicts a heartwarming scene from Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, in 1904. The image captures the moment of departure as a family prepares to leave their home, bundled up against the cold weather. The father, dressed in a heavy coat and hat, carries an accordion, while his wife cradles their youngest child in her arms. The older children, bundled up in furs and hats, walk alongside, one holding onto an umbrella, the other carrying a small bag. The family's simple, wooden house with a red roof and white walls serves as the backdrop to this poignant moment. Smirnov's skillful use of pencil and watercolor creates a rich, textured image that captures the essence of the meeting of frontiers - the boundary between the warmth and familiarity of home and the vast, unknown world beyond. This painting is a precious piece of heritage art, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a family in early 20th century Russia, and a reminder of the universal experiences of love, family, and the passage of time. The painting is part of the collection of the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife in Russia and can be found in the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. as well.
