Politicians 1884

"Politicians" is an 1884 oil painting by renowned Russian artist Vladimir Makovsky. The painting depicts two men, likely discussing politics, seated at a café table. The figures, dressed in formal attire and holding a newspaper, showcase Makovsky's mastery in capturing the details of everyday life, while the inclusion of a sleeping dog adds a touch of humor to the scene. The painting, now housed in the National Gallery of Armenia, serves as a window into the social interactions of the 19th century and highlights Makovsky's realistic style.
