The genre paintings by Vladimir Makovsky belong to the most typical, textbook examples of the art of the “Wanderers”. His early, smoothly written, small in format compositions are good-naturedly anecdotal, devoted to the cares and simple joys of the “little man”. These are the “Lovers of nightingale singing”.
Over time, the theme of “humiliated and offended” appears more clearly in his genre romanticism.
