This original work «For kumiss» was created by the contemporary Russian artist Alexander Samokhvalov.
Alexander Samokhvalov’s painting «За кумысом» is a vivid, colorful genre study that transports the viewer to the expanses of Central Asia, likely to the shores of a mountain lake. The work is filled with sunlight, movement, and the spirit of nomadic life.
At the center are three boys riding on a single donkey. The donkey, painted in warm brown tones, confidently steps through the green grass. The central figure, holding the reins, looks directly at the viewer, while his companions sitting behind him are more focused on the destination of their journey. The title of the painting points to their mission — presumably, they are heading to get kumiss, the traditional nomad’s drink.
In the background spreads a picturesque landscape. On the right rises a traditional yurt, its outline clearly standing out against the water. On the left is a large lake or sea, beyond which majestic mountain ranges are visible, shrouded in a bluish haze. The sky is light blue with white fluffy clouds, indicating good weather. In the distance, another figure can be seen riding a horse, emphasizing the pastoral nature of the painting.
Samokhvalov employs a realistic painting style, paying special attention to the lush green tones of the meadow and the bright colors of the sky. The painting conveys a sense of carefree childhood connected to nature and traditions. «За кумысом» is a warm and hospitable glimpse into culture and daily life, captured on a sunny day.
