EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white pencil drawing, titled "Teacher at a Girls' School in Irkutsk, 1904," is a poignant and introspective work by Russian artist Boris Vasilievich Smirnov. Smirnov created this piece during his journey across Siberia in 1904, as he was transported as a prisoner from western Russia. The drawing offers a glimpse into the daily life of a schoolteacher in Irkutsk during that era. The teacher is depicted in a simple, high-collared blouse and a stern expression, her gaze fixed on some distant point, lost in thought or contemplation. Her severe expression and the stern posture of her body suggest the strict discipline and rigorous instruction that were common in Russian schools at the time. The teacher's white apron and the neatly arranged desk and blackboard in the background further underscore the educational setting. The drawing is a testament to the resilience and dedication of educators, particularly in the context of the challenging conditions of Siberia during the early 20th century. Smirnov's skillful use of pencil and his ability to capture the essence of the subject make this a valuable addition to the historical record of education in Russia during this period. The drawing is now part of the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife in Russia.
