EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor painting, titled 'Second Shaving of the Beard' by Mikhail Znamensky, dates back to 1872 and is part of a collection of 239 illustrations housed in the Tobolsk Museum of History, Architecture, and Preservation in Russia. The collection offers a rich and diverse portrait of the people and physical conditions in West Siberia during the second half of the 19th century. In this particular image, we witness an intimate moment in a traditional barber shop. A bearded man, likely a local resident, sits in the chair, his eyes closed in relaxation as the barber, focused intently, wields a razor over his face. The barber shop, filled with the warm glow of natural light filtering through the window, is adorned with intricate Cyrillic lettering and a colorful card advertising various services. The scene exudes a sense of community and the importance of personal grooming in everyday life. The painting, executed in watercolor, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium, with the rich colors and fine details bringing the image to life. The Second Shaving of the Beard is a testament to the meeting of frontiers - the blending of the traditional and the modern, the rural and the urban, and the simple pleasures of daily life in 19th century Russia. Mikhail Znamensky, the artist, was a prolific illustrator and caricaturist, known for his satirical works as well as his detailed sketches of nature, people, and cities. This painting, with its timeless charm and evocative details, continues to captivate viewers and offer a glimpse into the past.
