About this work

This painting shows a family in a living room. The mother and father sit on a couch, and their son stands in front of them. An older woman stands to the side. The room has a table with a white tablecloth, a chair, and some pictures on the wall. The family seems to be saying goodbye. The son is wearing a uniform, and he might be leaving. The mother is holding a handkerchief, which suggests she's sad. The father looks serious, and the older woman seems to be watching. The artist who painted this scene is Alexei Korzukhin.
