Bogdanov-Belsky’’’’s painting
Working
is a wonderful example of the creativity of his Latvian period, in which the artist pursued his favourite theme of peasant children. Painted in the early years of his time in Latvia, the picture is one of a whole series of canvasses devoted to needlework (
Embroidering
, Latvian National Museum of Art;
Woman Embroidering a Shawl
, private collection, etc.).
In 1924 Bogdanov-Belsky chose
Working
among his best paintings for the first representative exhibition of Soviet art in the USA and, through Sergei Vinogradov, sent the canvasses off to America. The grand opening of the exhibition came on 8 April 1924 in New York, and then the show was despatched on a commercial tour round the northern and southern States, during which
Working
was bought by an American collector.
The heirs of the painting’’’’s original owner have kept a touching letter by their grandfather. He bought the canvas directly from the Russian exhibition and wrote that he had acquired it not as an investment or for personal enjoyment, but purely as a charitable gesture towards distressed Russian artists “abandoned by the Soviet government and left to starve”. How disappointed this American patron of the arts must have been to learn, that two days after his purchase,“Soviet Russia had ordered all the paintings to be returned there and the money I paid had been confiscated, while the artists continued to starve”.
Since then the painting has remained for almost 90 years in the same family, and is now offered for public sale for the first time.

Nikolai Bogdanov-Bel'sky's uvre can be said to be primarily preoccupied with the theme of childhood. The artist painted the life of young peasant children in different forms throughout his artistic life, from his early works, which exhibit a strong interest in the sociological conditions of rural childhood (
At the doors of the school
, 1897, Russian Museum) to his
plein air
works which depict both the joyful and everyday pursuits of youth.
