Before me V. Vasnetsov( не знаю как имя правильно пишется ) picture "Alyonushka". The artist wrote it according to the Russian national fairy tale "Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka". But the real girl inspired it to writing of this picture. He saw it in Akhtyrk's estate where the artist drew landscapes.
In a picture I see the sad girl. She sits on a stone near a pond and longs. At Alyonushka the sundress is torn and hair are uncombed. Likely she long ran on dark in search of brother Ivanushki. Prickly branches clung to her hair and clothes, disturbing it searching. Tired, it sat down to have a rest on the bank of a pond.
I don't see in a sun picture. And water in a pond such dark! On water yellow leaflets float, so there came fall. The nature longs together with Alyonushka.
The girl is drawn as live! And all nature as real, doesn't suffice only wood sounds. But I not so liked this picture because it sad, it is a pity for Alyonushka. And after all the fairy tale comes to an end well!
