Legend: The main space of the house of a Russian peasant is a so called 'izba,' represented in the print. —This room, more precisely called 'svetlitza,' is situated on the ground floor of the house, the floor being raised a few inches above the level of the surrounding grounds. It serves both as a dining/living room and bedroom. There is a kitchen and also bread is baked in this room. One of the dominant art pieces of such a room is a lacquered portrait of the Virgin or some other religious icon, or the portraits of the Czar and Czarina (his wife). This main room is complemented by three accessory spaces of smaller proportions, accessible from the izba; one serves as a bathroom, another as a storage of utensils and the third being a washing room. The type of izba represented in the print is typical of the northern Russia region. The window and door lintels are covered with nice artisan carpentry work. These details provide examples of beautifully crafted work that reflected folk art qualities of the Russian people. These intricate designs adorned parts of the house like window and door frames, porches that featured carved columns, roof eaves etc. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
