Description of the painting by Vasily Tropinin “Guitarist”

Pictures with the image of a guitarist extremely liked not only the public, but also the author himself.

There is something in this image that has always caused and causes pleasant associations: perhaps the guitar, which was just gaining popularity in those years, and perhaps the style and style of writing the picture, which depict a simple and understandable plot without frills and excesses.
