BORIS KUSTODIEV. From 1919, "Eternal Russia." His colors are so vibrant. He loved his country very much, and you can see the love put into this painting.

BORIS KUSTODIEV. This darling little girl! The detailing on her dress is amazing. It almost appears embossed like hand-embroidery actually looks in person.

BORIS KUSTODIEV. Wow! Check out her gown. Kustodiev pulled out all of his colors on this one. The sheen lets you know the fabric is satin. Just beautiful!

BORIS KUSTODIEV. Isn't she gorgeous?? I am not certain if this is his wife, Julia but I suspect it is. I love the dappled light on the table.

Entitled, "Consecration of Water on the Theophany." A beautiful snowy scene, but you can feel the sacred sentiment of the service. Their robes stand out in high contrast from the snow, signifying the importance of the moment.
