Description of Alexei Korzukhin’s painting "Sunday Afternoon".
Alexei Ivanovich Korzukhin is recognized as one of Russia’s most talented genre artists. Unfortunately, during his lifetime art criticism did not take him seriously, although today his works are represented in a variety of museums and are in great demand at exhibitions.
All his talent can be seen in the painting "Sunday afternoon". The composition of the picture depicts one of the days of an ordinary Russian family. All its members are gathered in the glade, there are children and their nanny.
The baby is in her caring hands and gentle arms, smiling and laughing. All of them are in a wonderful mood. The same reflects the state of nature, the sun is clearly shining, warming the family. The coachman plays the harmonica merrily, the father and mother dance merrily, raising the spirits of all present.
The boiling samovar is depicted in the middle of the composition. The family will soon be eating and drinking tea. The eldest son is waving his hand fervently in the dance of his parents. A lonely balalaika is lying idle beside him. A girl in blue attire sets the table. Near the boy a girl in white, listening to the music of the harmonica and smiling.
In his "Sunday afternoon", the composition of the details is striking. Everything here is drawn to the smallest detail. The family’s belongings lie in a big pile, there’s an umbrella, a bag, and clothes. The entire forest composition plays with amazing colors: the trees as if alive, the grass is incredibly green and lush, forest flowers are blooming in some places. There is a light misty haze over the lake, big trees can be seen in the distance.
From such a lively and cheerful plot, the smell of family warmth, the simplicity of laughter, the smells of a pleasant dinner. The family is portrayed very sincerely. The viewer himself wants to get to this merry clearing, to spin in a crazy dance, to play along with the accordionist and just to be in this wonderful spring atmosphere.

The picture has something of this: people, child, group, woman, girl, recreation, man, family, leisure, boy, lifestyle, outdoors, fun, three, happiness, four, adolescent, person, sit.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a group of people in a field with a dog and a fire hydrant in the foreground and a lake in the background.
