Family's Portrait 2000

"Family's Portrait" is a 2000 oil painting by Viktor Lyapkalo. The painting depicts a nude couple, the woman lying on her side, asleep and the man sitting in front of her. The woman is covered in a white cloth and the man is wearing only a white shirt, and both figures are depicted in a realistic and intimate way. The composition and realistic style of the painting are evocative of traditional portraiture, but the subject matter and the artist's use of light and shadow create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, challenging the traditional conventions of portraiture.
