Vasily Andreyevich Tropinin

[Серж]

Throughout the creative Tropinin with greater or lesser interest turned to genre subjects, sketching scenes from the life of the streets, urban artisans and inhabitants. By mid-1830 were zadumanny but unrealized songs, which can be judged on the basis of pictorial sketches - "Buy apple peddler in" 1830, "Family Portrait" 1810, etc., namely those that exhibited above. By 1820, Mr. researchers attribute the only completed work Tropinina with developed genre - "The seller of firewood", written by lithography AOOrlovsky.
