The first sketch for the painting in 1919 1925

This 1925 charcoal sketch by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin depicts a domestic scene, likely a pre-sketch for his later painting, "The First Sketch". The composition features two figures, a woman standing by a table, her back to the viewer, and a man exiting the room, with a baby in his arms. It is thought to be a portrayal of a commonplace moment in a household, highlighting the everyday lives of ordinary people. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner, adding a personal touch to the composition.
