A Midsummer Night's Dream

The portrait of the wife («A Midsummer Night’s Dream») is also symbolically drawn. Again, the devotion to English painting shows through – Pre-Raphaelites, but though the prism of the bygone XX century, the works of Soviet artists (D. Zhilinsky, I. Lubennikov).
The picture has an allegorical meaning: the sleeping young woman, the cat, the butterfly, the thistle, the flowers. Life is little day, same as with dream and with butterfly… But nearby, we can see the shell. In the ancient world the shell symbolized the female nature, which in its turn means the birth, thus the life itself.
