Grandfather and Grandson

Description

Author: Duysenbayev, Kenzhebay. 1942
The genre scene is built on the contrast of warm and cool lighting: on the left, a nude boy holds a blue-and-red ball; on the right, an elderly figure in a light shirt sits immersed in shadow. The background is rendered in deep blue-black tones, with silhouettes of hills and a crescent moon in the upper part of the composition. The painterly manner is distinguished by expressive modelling of form and contrasting chiaroscuro.
