Oh! Father's dinner!

About this work

This painting depicts a young boy sitting on the ground, holding a wooden spoon in his right hand and resting his head on his left hand. He is wearing a white shirt and has bare feet. To his left is a small white dog, and in front of him is a clay pot that has fallen over. The background is dark and indistinct. The boy's expression is one of concern or disappointment, and the fallen pot suggests that he may have been trying to cook or prepare a meal. The presence of the dog adds a sense of companionship and warmth to the scene. The painting is held at the Tretyakov Gallery.
