This thing is rightly considered the climax of Volkov’s creative search in the 1920s. The artist created this magical luminiferous in hot or even burning colour canvas in the heyday of his creative career. In the composition and style, the master maintained an organic and ideal for himself measure of conventionality, as well as complete harmony in the fusion of the art of East and West. The figures of characters composed of triangles bent over the white teapot do not divide the space as in the works of Cubists but put it together by a precise rhythm.
