Merchant and Brownie by Kustodiev

Merchant and Brownie by Kustodiev

The artist depicted a very piquant scene. The brownie, bypassing his possessions, froze in amazement in front of the naked body of the sleeping hostess of the house. But the details still tell the viewer that the heroine of the picture has prepared everything for this scene. A hot-heated stove is left open so that the fire gives light.

Pose carefully thought out. There is a feeling that the dream of the hostess is theatrical. The beauty as if herself lures the brownie to look at him. Fairy tale, Christmas story, miracle. A graceful, whitish, dazzling-beautiful merchant’s wife – on the one hand, eerie, covered with wool, a big-bellied brownie – on the other. They are like the embodiment of female and male beauty merchants.

Two different beginnings, opposites. Bright colors, lovingly written out details – all this makes the picture very attractive, talented, a bit hooligan.
