To your attention we present a painting depicting a very beautiful living room in an Russian aristocratic manor of the 19th century. In the foreground we see an expensive mahogany set consisting of a table and four chairs, as well as an ornate bronze chandelier with crystal pendants. The surface of the table very naturally reflects the surrounding interior. A vase full of bright flowers stands alone on the table. The door opening magically creates a space, opening a perspective in the next room with a fireplace, lit by sunlight. Near the walls are conveniently located soft sofas, on which you can relax or conduct secular talk... Two portraits, in massive gold frames hang on walls. These portraits in the image very much remind the great Russian poet A. S. Pushkin and his spouse N. N. Goncharova. There is not a single superfluous detail in the painting.

Stanislav Yulianovich Zhukovsky (18731944) was a Russian painter. Zhukovsky was born in Yendrikhovtsy (Jdrzychowice), Grodno Province in in the family of an aristocrat, deprived of possessions and noble rights for participation in the Polish uprising of 1863. He was a pupil of the world-famous Russian artists of Isaac Levitan and Vasily Polenova in a graduate of the Moscow School of Painting. Zhukovsky became a celebrated landscapist working in a unique style which projected impressionistic methods and skills as well as his interpretation of the tradition of the Russian realist school. He established his own art studio in Moscow where he mentored students, including later to become a celebrated avantgardist Liubov Popova and a young Vladimir Mayakovsky who was then working as a poster artist. As a painter, Zhukovsky left a legacy from capturing Russian landscapes and pre-revolutionary sites and the interior of Russian estate houses. His social predisposition left him skeptical of the Bolshevik revolution, and in 1923 he left Soviet Union for his ancestral homeland Poland, then already an independent country. After the German occupation of Poland, during the World War II he was arrested by the Nazis and held at the prisoner transit camp (Durchgangslager) at Pruszkw where he eventually died in 1944. The tragic fate of a talented Russian artist... A well-known Russian painter, many of his works are kept in museums such as Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow, Russia) and in private collections...
