EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the resilience and determination of a female migrant from the Arkhangelsk Province in western Russia as she embarks on her journey to Krasnoyarsk in Siberia in 1904. Boris Vasilievich Smirnov, a Russian artist, created this pencil and watercolor drawing while traveling by prisoner transport across Siberia. The Old Believer woman is shown standing by a clothesline, her head covered by a patterned headdress, her hands busy with laundry chores. The red and blue patterns of her clothes and the intricate design of her headgear add vibrant color to the monochromatic landscape. The meeting of frontiers, both physical and cultural, is beautifully captured in this still image. The woman's strong posture and focused expression convey a sense of purpose and endurance, as she continues her journey into the unknown. This poignant portrait is a testament to the daily life and heritage of the Russian people during the early 20th century, and a reminder of the challenges and hardships faced by migrants during this period. The drawing is now part of the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife collection.
