Artist's studio

Zubovsky Boulevard, Garden Ring. In an old pre-revolutionary house, practically in the attic, lives a wonderful artist, a master of not only painting, but also an expert in art encyclopedic knowledge. You can get to the top of it either on foot or by elevator, which is wildly hot and stuffy in summer, and in winter its hot. It was hot June outside, the workers grinders were noisy on the widening boulevard, there was dust and crumbs of marble everywhere.
