About this work

This sketch shows a tired-looking man in work clothes—loose pants, a long coat, and boots—holding a shovel over his shoulder. His beard is scraggly, his hat sits low, and he’s carrying a bucket in one hand. In the background, there’s a simple drawing of a small house and a few buildings. The text below him in Russian reads like a sigh: *"Oh, and he worked hard for the cause of freedom."* It’s like he’s just finished a long day’s labor.
