Morning. Grandma Gruni's portrait

Gennady Timofeyevich Klyuzhin is the recognized master of the genre painting. Morning in the village begins early. Feed the cattle, milk a cow, flood the furnace, bake bread – all this womens cares. In a picture "Morning. Grandma Grunis portrait" in interior of wooden house with the Russian furnace in which the fire is flares, the elderly woman fragile by sight in village clothes is represented. Firewood at the furnace, the towel hanging on the furnace, kitten near the feet of the wooman, print curtains, homespun floor boards, give to an interior of wooden house something like a theatrical stage setting. The artist managed to create the atmosphere of a cosiness, and at the same time it in own way to show the image of "Grandma Gruni" as icon of family and country life.
