Girv Alfred Alexandrovich (1880-1918). Still Life with Bat Game 1913. On a thick stone tabletop with a well-known tragedy, as if on a cracked gravestone, there are presented: a goblet, beaten game and fruits in a basket. Hanging tongues of guinea fowl, drake and grapes form an almost heraldic symmetry and form a compositional and semantic knot. Death: Her and His, innocent lives, lovers, family; mourned by the sacrificial blood of grapes. In the basket - the nest, the source of every life, in the apple, and the unripe green of the grapes - the pace of just begun life. But for that person only the glory and vanity of the cup. For him it is joy and fullness of life - a trophy so indifferent to losses.

Гирв А. А. Натюрморт с битой дичью.
Гирв Альфред Александрович (1880—1918). Натюрморт с битой дичью 1913 год. На толстой каменной столешнице с известным трагизмом, словно на надтреснутой могильной плите предъявлены: кубок, битая дичь и фрукты в корзине. Свисающие языки цесарки, селезня и винограда образуют почти геральдическую симметрию и формируют композиционно-смысловой узел. Гибель: Её и Его, невинных жизней, возлюбленных, семьи; оплакан жертвенной кровью винограда. В корзине - гнезде, исток каждой жизни - в яблоке. И не зрелая зелень винограда - поступь только начатой жизни. Но человеку с того лишь слава и тщеславие кубка. Для него это радость и полнота жизни - трофей, столь безразличный к потерям.
