About this object

The scene is a curtained bedchamber in the 19th century style with a gentleman in a brown jacket and green plaid pants, who appears to be Alexander Pushkin, sitting in a gilded chair. Another man in a red dressing gown is sitting on a bed reading a document. Two glasses of tea sit on the table, which is covered with a cloth—yellow and embroidered in gold. On a shelf behind them are books and an icon or picture hangs on the wall.
