The work of an unknown artist of the 19th century is echoed by the Dutch master of the Golden Age - Philips Wouwerman. It depicts a pause of a horseback ride at the fountain. A young man helps a lady to get off her horse. Their companion watering the horse without getting off the saddle. The landscape diagonally seems to lean towards the rest of the fountain. There clouds run, the tree slopes and the young lady leans in. All these rhythms portend sweet peace - a pause. The golden, generalizing coloring sounds like a lyrical sonata in a touching corner of a baroque park.

Painting "Naked Girl". Signed by K. Somov 1897.
In a horizontal tondo, a naked girl lies diagonally. A book doesn’t go in her head, she can`t concentrate on it. The peignoir somehow untied itself and the beauty of her naked body took possession of the girl. A mirror and a chocolate set complete the portrait of a young beauty. The sweetness and bliss of narcissism are the companions of this love alcove.
