Return of the father from the fair is a 1868 oil by Alexei Korzukhin, a Realism work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
The painting shows a man in a dark coat and hat, walking along a dirt path with a group of people behind him. He carries a walking stick and has a red sash around his waist. The group includes a woman, a child, and an elderly man with a white beard. The scene is set in a rural area, with trees and buildings visible in the background. The sky is overcast, and the overall mood is one of quiet activity. To learn more about the artist's use of light and shadow, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
