About this work

This drawing shows a sailor in a black uniform with a white collar and striped sleeves. He’s standing with one hand on his hip and the other holding a folded piece of paper. In the background, two ships float on wavy lines—one looks like a battleship, the other a smaller boat. The text below reads in Russian: *"Worked in October, day and night shaving the bourgeoisie."* That’s a sharp jab at class struggle, likely from the same year as the Russian Revolution.
