What were the bonds of marriage
1903
100,5 х 75 cm
Oil on canvas
The picture was reproduced in the magazine "Neva" with such an annotation: "Young" - husband and wife just got married, and now, after the marriage feast, the husband, by custom, shows his authority over his wife: she takes off his boot, signifying his loyalty and obedience to his will, and he, having in hand a "power" (i.e. a lash), should gently and politely teach it this "power"... This kind of domos-style often kept in the old family life"
