About this work

This drawing shows two faces side by side. One is Nicholas II, the last Russian tsar. The other is Stalin. Lenin is missing between them. The artist skips Lenin on purpose. He links the two leaders straight across the revolution. The faces look real but the space feels wrong. Some details are half-finished. See it at the Museum of Ethnography.
