Check it please! I would like to tell you about the picture "The Family" by SV Ivanov that was painted in 1910. This picture shows the family that goes to a church. The daughter - marriageable girl goes first because men and fiances must be enamoured of her and marry her. She is about 16-17 years old. She is shy but knows that she is in the spotlight. Then the parents go and their sons with the wives go next. The youngest member of the family goes at the end. Always there was sequence in order of seniority when families went to church every Sunday in Russian Empire before the revolution (before 1917). They wear 'tulup' (sheepskin coats) and women wear shawls and men wear 'boiarka' (headdress). Mother holds in the hand a bag with food for beggars. The doughter has a beautiful purse which hangs on one side. Formerly, women used to paint cheeks by a beet for make-up. It was believed that the red cheeks mean healthy woman.
