EDITORS COMMENTS
Boris Vasilievich Smirnov's captivating black and white portrait, titled "Krasnoyarsk Merchant," dates back to 1904. Smirnov, a Russian artist, was traveling from western Russia to Siberia as a prisoner at the time, documenting his journey through a series of drawings and watercolors. This poignant pencil drawing captures the enigmatic expression and weathered features of a local merchant from Krasnoyarsk, a major city in Siberia. The man's thick beard, furrowed brow, and furrowed hands, one of which holds a cigarette, convey a sense of resilience and determination. His gaze is directed away from the viewer, adding an air of mystery to the image. The merchant's attire, consisting of a high collar and a long coat, is typical of the early 20th century. This evocative portrait, preserved in the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Siberia during a pivotal time in Russian history. Smirnov's artistry and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects have left a lasting impression on the world of art, making this image a valuable addition to any collection.
