It was always interesting to portray children. They as an open book have not yet learned to hide their emotions and feelings from an outsider. This is what Firsov uses. On his canvas “Young Painter” just two children. One of them is posing, and the other is painting a portrait. What did I see interesting and important for myself in this picture?
At first glance, I realized that I was in the artist’s studio. Yes, here he is. Can not be! After all, a very young man is sitting at the easel. I would not have given him even fifteen years. But still. His seriousness, and the fact that the canvas on which he works is almost ready, says that this is his workshop. In it, he spends a lot of time. And the work he is currently working on is indicative of the talent of a small genius. It is not clear only his attitude to this occupation. Do I like to write to him? Does he see his future in this?
The world, open to me, raises many questions, but the answers are also full. For example, on the canvas of Firsov we can see one more person. This is the mother of the child. She, hearing about the gifted boy, decided to make a portrait of her daughter. How did she know about the young artist? Most likely the rumor about him spread all over the city. Everyone rushed to find a talented work that would decorate their home gallery.
About the habit of working hard, they say other details. Here on the table is a mannequin. It allows you to simulate the movements of a living person so that the image looks believable accurately. The guy decided to try himself in different genres. There is also a portrait hanging on the wall, and a landscape, but there is also a sculpture. Yes, and the relaxed position of the artist shows how habitual for him this occupation. And judging by the clothes, he discerns a student of an art academy. It seems to me that over time this artist will have a great name that will sound and encourage even more clients to pose for him.
