"Dervishes-Duvans" is an 1870 oil painting by Russian artist Vasily Vereshchagin (1842-1904). The painting depicts two men, likely Dervishes, dressed in colorful traditional clothing and standing in a field. The painting's focus on the figures' costumes and the realism of their depiction are characteristic of Vereshchagin's work, which is known for its detailed portrayals of life in Central Asia. The painting's title, "Dervishes-Duvans," suggests a connection to the Dervish religious order, and the men's attire provides visual clues to their identity and cultural background. The painting's realism and attention to detail make it a valuable historical document of Central Asian life in the 19th century.
