Tavern 1891

Andrei Ryabushkin's "Tavern" is a striking example of Realism in Russian art, painted in 1891. The artwork depicts a solitary figure slumped over a bar counter in a dimly lit tavern. The starkness of the composition, with its emphasis on the figure's loneliness and despair, highlights the social realities of the time. This painting is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Ryabushkin's work.
