The plot of the picture of Alexander Denisov The sailors in the shoemaking shop are quite simple: in the shoemaker’s room there is a discussion of repairing shoes. As well as most of the stories of the founder of the school of the artist Venetsianov, he does not contain an internal conflict and does not involve development over time.
The author of the canvas, in the traditions of the Venetian school, pays close attention to depicting the real image of the heroes of the painting, carefully conveying the surrounding environment. The tools of the shoemaker act as talking details that emphasize the plot line of the work.
