EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in rural Russia during the late 19th century. The image showcases a hunter, clad in traditional Victorian attire, quenching his thirst from a bucket held by a young woman. The scene exudes an air of simplicity and rustic charm as it unfolds against the backdrop of the picturesque countryside. The artist Gillot masterfully portrays the interaction between these two individuals, highlighting their contrasting roles and social dynamics. The hunter's weapon, prominently displayed beside him, serves as a reminder of the harsh realities that exist beyond this tranquil moment. Meanwhile, the young woman's apron symbolizes her domestic responsibilities within this rural community. L Boulanger's illustration is part of Russie Costumes et Coutumes - an esteemed work on Russian dress and customs. Through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, Boulanger brings to life the essence of 19th-century Russian culture. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate exchange between people living amidst societal changes and warfare looming on the horizon. It serves as a poignant reminder of how art can capture not only visual beauty but also historical context and human connections.
