EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Bread Pedlar, 1830-1831" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Saint Petersburg during the early 19th century. Created by Vasily Semyonovich Sadovnikov, a renowned Russian artist known for his genre paintings and graphic arts, this print showcases his exceptional talent in capturing everyday life. In this scene, we are transported to a vibrant street corner where a bread pedlar conducts his trade. The pedlar stands proudly beside his cart filled with freshly baked kalach - traditional Russian bread rings. Dressed in humble attire that reflects his occupation as a merchant, he engages passersby with an inviting smile and warm demeanor. Sadovnikov's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. The intricate landscape behind the pedlar provides context to the setting while adding depth to the artwork. The viewer can almost feel themselves immersed in the lively atmosphere of Saint Petersburg's streets. "The Bread Pedlar" not only serves as an exquisite example of academic art but also sheds light on an important facet of daily life in 19th-century Russia – small-scale entrepreneurship and street vending. This lithograph captures both the economic realities faced by merchants at that time and their role in providing essential goods to their community. Now preserved within the esteemed State Museum of the History of Saint Petersburg collection, this fine art image continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to Sadovnik
