EDITORS COMMENTS
Boris Vasilievich Smirnov's captivating image, titled "In a Hut on the Outskirts of Irkutsk, 1904," offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Siberian household during the early 20th century. Smirnov, a Russian artist, created this pencil drawing while traveling by prisoner transport across Siberia. The scene depicts a solitary figure, likely a woman, seated at a wooden table in a dimly lit, rustic hut. The room's simple furnishings include a wooden floor, a stove, and a few household appliances such as a saucepan and a kettle. The hut's exterior is revealed through the open door, with a snow-covered landscape and a few other buildings visible in the background. The meeting of frontiers between the wild Siberian countryside and the domestic interior is a common theme in Smirnov's work. The artist's skillful use of pencil shading creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life. This poignant image is a valuable addition to the heritage of Russian art and offers a unique insight into the daily life of a Siberian household during the early 1900s. Smirnov's work is now housed in the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife in Russia, and this particular piece is also part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
