Description

Author: Bube, Nelly. 1949
A decorative-symbolic composition. Against a golden background, framed by coloured ornamental bands, at the centre is a stylized figure of a camel. On its back, among the assembled furnishings of a yurt, a family dressed in traditional costumes is depicted. Behind the figures is a semicircular shanyrak, reinforcing the ethnocultural and symbolic character of the work. In the corners of the composition are conventionally rendered figures of animals and horsemen. The painterly manner is decorative, characterized by a flat treatment of form, ornamentality, and attention to local colour. At the bottom centre are the artist’s monogram and the date.
