Commissar, Interrogation of a Red Navy Commissar, offset print circa 1940s-50s, after a painting by Fyodor Nevezhin.
The image measures approx. 8 ½" x 8". Total size with the backing frame is 13 ¾" x 10 ½". Printed on thin but fine quality semi-gloss paper and affixed by a thin line of glue along the top edge to a thin cardboard backing inside a printed frame. The title of the painting and name of the artist are printed under the color plate on the right. The painting depicts a Civil War period scene where a captured Red Navy commissar is being interrogated by an Imperial Russian ("white guard", as the Soviets called them) officer.
The print is in outstanding superb condition. No damage of any kind to the image whatsoever. The backing cardboard is in excellent condition as well, showing just barely discernible corner bumps.
Fyodor Nevezhin (1902 - 1964) was a painter and illustrator, member of the Soviet Academy of Fine Arts, a stalwart follower and supporter of Socialist Realism in art. His favorite genre was historic and battle scenes as well as landscapes.
