A moment frozen in time:
Yegor Zaitsev’s *First Summer* (2002)

This painting seems to bring time to a standstill, drawing us into a world of perfect calm. At its heart is a tender scene: a mother gently feeding her child. Through the open window, a white-stone village church rises above a garden thick with greenery, where apples are ripening in the August sun. On the windowsill, simple clay jugs hold generous bouquets of wildflowers and golden wheat. There’s no rush here—only warm sunlight and the feeling that, for this moment, the whole world is just a mother and her baby.
