Boys 1910

"Boys" is a 1910 painting by Russian artist Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky, known for his idyllic portrayals of Russian life. This painting captures a moment of boyhood innocence, with two young boys wading in a shallow stream. One boy fishes while the other appears to watch, perhaps lost in thought. The water, depicted in vibrant blues and greens, reflects the dappled sunlight, adding to the serene atmosphere. The painting evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times, reminding us of the joys of childhood and the beauty of nature.
