Did grandpa?

No, Grandpa at that time already had other interests, because The painting was done in 1970, and a trip to Novgorod the Great was in 1967.
We went in two cars together with our friends, family sculptor AD Shcherbakov.
Originally the church called "Church of the Annunciation in Witkowo Lane." Date of construction - 1362
Nearby was a small agricultural market, without, alas, today's abundance, and not to interfere with the artist, mother, younger brother and I went to buy something to the table. The day was beautiful, sunny, and sketch a Stozharov went excellent. He had some drawings made from memory.
Since that time we already had movie camera, we managed to shoot a small plot as an artist wrote this sketch.
By the time we returned to the work was finished: he worked very quickly, without the "swing", immediately clean.
Later, in the studio with this study (please pay some attention - the only!) And was written by a picture. To her "revive" in the foreground and was shown my younger brother.
Below - the original sketch.
P.S. Picture a boy - not the only "secret" of the artist. In many real-life pictures of familiar people, dear to the heart of animals, and other "little tricks" known only to family.
