EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a pencil drawing by Russian artist Boris Vasilievich Smirnov, titled "Pupil at the Irkutsk City School, 1904." Smirnov created this work while traveling through Siberia as a prisoner in 1904. The drawing depicts a young boy, dressed in typical clothing of the early 20th century, sitting at a school desk with a hat and scarf nearby. The boy's expression is thoughtful, and he looks away from the viewer, adding an air of introspection to the portrait. Smirnov's use of color and coloured pencil adds depth and texture to the drawing, bringing the boy's brown coat, hat, and scarves to life. The blemish on the boy's cheek, a common occurrence in children of the time due to the harsh Siberian climate, adds an authenticity to the image. The drawing is a poignant reminder of the meeting of frontiers and the diverse experiences of people in Russia during the early 1900s. This work is part of a larger series of drawings and watercolors created by Smirnov during his journey across Siberia. It is now held in the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife in Russia. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. also has a copy of this drawing in their collection, making it an important piece of heritage art that continues to capture the imagination of viewers today.
