Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The National Museum of Art, Kiev (Ukraine).

The work, which was successfully shown at collective expositions in Venice and Berlin, Berne and Geneva, Zurich, was exhibited in American cities for two years as a part of the “Exhibition of paintings about which the American press wrote most”. The painting was created in a post-impressionist manner using some techniques of expressionism. The latter concerns the emotional colour scheme of the picture. The canvas, according to the memoirs of L. Petrytskaya, occupied almost the entire small room of the artist in Moscow and invariably aroused the approval of visitors. The author represented the theme that was relevant after the First World War monumentally and truthfully. In the complete absence of pathos, the canvas makes you peer into the faces of the people in needs and empathize with them.
