The name of Victor Ivanov instantly conjures up images of courageous, wise and handsome people. These features are incarnated in the “peasant Madonna” gathering her family around the table after the post-war jubilation has died down and life has returned to normal. This patient heroine has awaited the return of her husband from the front and now sits at the head of the table. The relief-like composition and the austere silhouettes exude an air of solemnity. The rough and angular drawing, harsh forms and ringing tones create a mood of tension.
