EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the life of a young boy during the 1820s. The anonymous artist beautifully portrays a scene of childhood innocence and resilience amidst poverty. Set in Moscow, Russia, this painting evokes emotions of compassion and admiration for the strength displayed by children facing challenging circumstances. The image showcases a young apprentice diligently putting on bast shoes, known as lapti in Russian. These traditional footwear were commonly worn by laborers in rural areas during that time period. The rustic country house backdrop further emphasizes the humble origins of this boy's existence. Through its use of oil on canvas, this fine art piece embodies elements of Romanticism, highlighting both the beauty and struggles found within everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even amid hardship, there is still room for hope and determination. Preserved within the collection of I. Turgenev Memorial Museum in Moscow, this photograph offers us an intimate glimpse into history while shedding light on child labor practices prevalent at that time. It prompts reflection upon societal issues surrounding youth exploitation and reminds us to appreciate our own privileges today.
