In the picture of the artist “Courage and Honor” we see an allegory of high human qualities. And courage and honor are portrayed in the form of beautiful, proud men and women; Harsh times, honest beautiful people are depicted against the background of the winter landscape. Allegorical sword in the form of an ice stela divides the space of the picture in half into a real and fantastic. At the same time, the composition group is perceived as a single whole.
