The artwork, titled “Andrew-shooter and Strelchiha”, was created by Ivan Bilibin in 1900. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement and falls under the genre of illustration.
The artwork depicts a detailed and ornate scene within a room. A woman, adorned in a richly patterned and vibrantly colored traditional garment with intricate designs, stands on the left side. Her attire is elaborate, featuring a headdress and a blend of gold, red, and blue hues. She appears to be in conversation with a man who stands on the right side. The man is dressed in a deep green robe, accented by a red sash and yellow details. Between them is a small table or chest adorned with a colorful design of a bird, adding to the folkloric and decorative style typical of Bilibin’s work. Through a window in the background, a picturesque landscape is visible, contributing to the overall storytelling aspect of the illustration. The attention to detail, along with the rich, harmonious color palette, exemplifies the Art Nouveau style.
