Illustration for The Ural Tales 

Vyacheslav Nazaruk, born on March 4, 1941, was a renowned artist known for his work in illustration. This illustration for "The Ural Tales" depicts a man in a workshop, possibly a craftsman, standing in front of a broken piece of pottery. The artist utilizes a stylized technique with vibrant colors and the juxtaposition of the broken pottery, the man's somber expression, and the green background, creates a melancholic and contemplative mood. The piece is indicative of Nazaruk's ability to capture both realism and emotion through his unique artistic style.
