It was written by me based on the motives of Ilya Efimovich Repin.
Here is a thin man, tousled, with a thick beard. His pose can be mistaken for an expression of some stiffness. But just a pose. The hero's eyes reveal a storm of passion, will, fearlessness and energy. This is what a thief, a rebel might look like. The man's shyness is false. It's like a compressed spring that's about to straighten out... This is an amazing image of a Russian man “on his own”. The sparkle of the eyes is amazingly conveyed; fate can be read in the wrinkles.
