About this work

This image looks like a printed sheet with five small portraits arranged in a frame. The portraits are simple line drawings of people’s faces, some with hats or head coverings. The border has a swirly, decorative pattern, and the center has text in a blocky, old-style font—some of it looks like names or titles. The text is in Russian and includes the years 1957–1961, suggesting this was made during that time. The faces look like they might be religious figures, but it’s hard to tell for sure. If you’re curious about how this was made, look up lithography.
