Russian school, early 20th century. "Heroic resistance". Oil on canvas. Signed in Cyrillic Measurements: 40 x 53 cm. Group portrait of a clique of Russian fighters parapetados with rifles and pistols, including a woman wearing a fur cap. They adopt a variety of attitudes, all of which are feisty and vigilant. The figure holding the flag assumes a mystical expression, as if asking for help from heaven. Each of the figures has been characterized with psychological depth, making the whole an epic and realistic picture.
