In Memory of Zhambyl Zhabaev

Description

Author: Babad, Emilia. 1912-1990
A composition featuring objects from traditional Kazakh everyday life. Against the background of a tekemet, a man’s chapan rendered in cool blue-violet tones hangs on the wall to the right. Leaning against it is a dombra placed at the center of the composition; red tulips lie nearby. On the left, a saddle rests on the floor, with a baskur (decorative band) featuring an ornamental pattern draped over it. The colour palette combines the warm ochre tones of the background with the cool hues of the garment, emphasizing the national flavour and the cosy atmosphere of the traditional Eastern interior.
