Sweets. Still life 

Boris Kustodiev, a celebrated Russian artist, is best known for his portrayal of everyday life, particularly with his lively, colorful style. In his painting, "Sweets," we see an arrangement of pastries, cakes, and a glass of wine on a silver platter, creating a still life. It exemplifies Kustodiev’s talent in capturing the textures and details of objects, creating a visually rich composition. The setting is simple yet elegant, with the blue fabric backdrop contrasting against the vibrant colors of the treats. This depiction of food and drink evokes a sense of abundance and pleasure, a theme that resonated with Kustodiev's artistic sensibilities.
