Novgorodians 1925

"Novgorodians," painted in 1925 by Pyotr Konchalovsky, depicts a group of men gathered around a table. The scene is set in a dimly lit interior, with a glimpse of a shelf filled with pottery in the background. The figures are depicted in a realistic style, with thick brushstrokes and a sense of immediacy. The painting captures a moment of casual conversation and camaraderie, highlighting the everyday lives of ordinary people during the early Soviet era. The work is characteristic of Konchalovsky's style, which often focused on scenes of everyday life and the working class. "Novgorodians" is a testament to Konchalovsky's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with both warmth and sensitivity.
