Object description
The Ukrainian-language inscription in simple pencil below the photograph reads: "Ivanova A. Sketch of the rug 'Apple Picking' Kyiv, Sviatoshyno" (no indication of the year of execution). The plot of this work is quite typical for the iconography of the practices of the artists of Mykhailo Boychuk's circle (for example, Mykola Rokytskyi's work "Apple Tree", 1923, Andrey Sheptytsky National Museum in Lviv, or Mykhailo Boichuk's work "Under the Apple Tree" ("Couple Under a Tree"), 1912–1913, from the Gallery's collection), both in terms of the manner of execution and the subject matter. In general, the flatness and interpretation of the scene, in accordance with the practices of sacred art, especially Orthodox iconography, is one of the important characteristics of the artist's formal solution of this work. Considering the place of creation and the approach to interpreting images, we can assume that the work dates back to the early 1920s when Antonina Ivanova worked mainly in Kyiv and the region.
