EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ofena, the Shop-keeper, 1865" by Nikolay Koshelev, takes us back to a simpler time in rural Russia. The image captures a scene inside a quaint shop filled with Russian peasants going about their daily lives. Amongst them is a small girl dressed in traditional attire, her dress playfully nibbled on by an adorable calf. The composition of this photograph beautifully portrays the essence of country life during the 19th century. The worn-out wooden shelves are stacked with various goods while sunlight streams through the window, casting soft shadows on the faces of those present. It is evident that poverty was prevalent among these hardworking people as they stand barefoot and wear simple clothing. Koshelev's attention to detail brings realism to this snapshot of history. Each individual's facial expression tells its own story - from the weary old man behind the counter to the curious child captivated by her bovine companion. This artistic movement showcases not only everyday life but also highlights societal divisions and economic struggles faced by Russian peasants at that time. Displayed in Moscow's State Tretyakov Gallery, this painting has become an important piece within Russian art history. Through Vladimir Fiala's book "Russian Painting of the 18th and 19th Centuries" we gain insight into this remarkable work and its significance within both cultural and historical contexts. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured over a century ago but printed in 1965
