This painting shows a wooden comb, a lemon peel, and a few scattered objects on a plain surface. The colors are muted greens and ochers, giving it a quiet, everyday feel. It’s not a flashy still life—just objects placed together with careful shadows. It dates to 1914, right before World War I and the Russian Revolution changed everything. The artist, Aleksei Morgunov, was part of a group that wanted art to feel real and raw, not fancy or polished. Look up the Museum of Ethnography to see more of his work.
