Picture gallery of Zinaida Evgenievna Serebryakova at lunch. Essay on picture z.e
Zinaida Evgenievna Serebryakova grew up in an intelligent family that lived in the world of art and decided to be an artist from early childhood. Already in the children's sketches of little Zina, her own handwriting and style are evident.
In the 1900s, Serebryakova quite often painted her children: Zhenya, Shura, Tanyushka and Katyusha. This time the picture is At Lunch, although of course the plot will also be called “At Breakfast”, but more on that below. In 1914, she created a common portrait of them. At the family dinner table, three children are waiting for a meal. One boy drinks water, the other starts eating soup, and the little girl puts her little hand right on the plate, expecting something tasty.
All the guys are active, there is no impression that they are posing. Lively, sociable seven-year-old Shurik turned to look at his mother and see what she was doing. After all, soup is already waiting for mom, and her chair hasn’t even been moved away from the table yet.
Dreamy, slightly slow eight-year-old Zhenya is waiting for his grandmother to pour aromatic hot soup onto his plate. Three-year-old little Tanya also looks at her mother. Each child is distinguished by his own unique facial expression and pose.
Creating a portrait of a child is a difficult task for an artist. As we know, children are always fidgety and do not sit in one position, the mood changes every minute, and at some point it is necessary to capture an interesting facial expression and fleeting mood.
Serebryakova's painting At Lunch became one of the artist's most memorable paintings. It is not surprising that the picture is often called “At Dinner,” probably due to the prevailing stereotype of our thinking in everyday life, because there is a tureen on the table.
However, it is worth noting that the artist’s family lived according to the European regime: at eight o’clock in the morning a bun and milk were served on the table, and at noon, the so-called big breakfast, reminiscent of lunch.
And the table is set more according to Western standards. The table is not covered with oilcloth, as in most homes for practicality reasons, but with a white, starched linen tablecloth.
The porcelain table set also includes an elegant tureen, similar to a dinner tureen in our understanding. This kitchen attribute is rarely seen in ordinary Russian kitchens. A painted tureen serves as a table decoration. It is clear that in this family, from the first days of their lives, children are taught to see beauty in the entire world around them.
The rest of the items are more ordinary: glasses, a milk jug, a sugar bowl... But how delicious the freshly baked golden brown buns look. That is, life goes on calmly, measuredly, without excesses, but there is wealth, albeit modest.
The children are well dressed, according to their age, and Tanya, who was often called Tata, is wearing a beautiful lace apron.
But Katyusha was still very young at the time of painting, so she was not present at the table. Perhaps a little later her mother will take her in her arms and feed her herself.
Children at lunch amaze with the crystal purity of their internal relationships; one can feel the warmth. However, there is no sentimentality. Serebryakova talks about the family in a surprisingly sincere and poetic way.
Few creative personalities can compete with Serebryakova in the number of works that she dedicated to children. Perhaps it was motherhood that brought her so much spirituality and revealed the artist’s nature - tender, subtle, loving.
Serebryakova continued the traditions of the Russian realistic school and deservedly took an honorable place in the history of art. Currently, the painting “At Breakfast” is on display at the State Tretyakov Gallery.
Zinaida Serebryakova’s painting “At Dinner” is a portrait taken in the family kitchen. She depicted her children's dinner ceremony on it. I saw this painting for the first time at the Tretyakov Gallery, and I immediately liked it for its warmth and care.
The hostess’s face is not visible in the picture, but only her caring hands are visible, carefully pouring soup into porcelain dishes. On the table there is a large yellow jug, a slightly smaller glass decanter, next to it there is a tureen on a striped wooden stand.
Two golden brown buns lie on a round wooden stand next to the jug, almost in the center of the table. There is a small white salt shaker, a brown pot, three glasses, biscuits, a neatly rolled napkin and one empty plate for the cook herself.
When she finishes her work, then she can eat. The table is covered with a snow-white tablecloth. The eldest child in the family is Zhenya. He is 8 years old. The boy raised a glass of water to his lips and wants to drink it. His gaze is fixed on the bottom of the glass.
The youngest son Sasha, sitting with his back to us, looks, turning his head, at his mother drawing him, with an obedient look full of gratitude and attention. He holds a spoon in his bowl of soup. Sasha started eating. He is 7 years old. Sasha's back is straight, as befits a well-mannered child.
Tata, the little girl sits with her leg thrown up on a chair and her hand on a plate with a beautiful blue border. It's more convenient for her. This is the most beloved child in the family. Judging by the self-portraits of Zinaida Serebryakova: “in a Pierrot costume” from 1911, “with a brush,” the children are very similar to their mother. They all have brown eyes and the same color hair.
Zhenya has a gray jumper, Sasha has a gray striped jacket, and Tata has a white lace shirt over a black shirt, without a collar and also striped. The reflections on the dishes reflect the sun shining through the window. A shadow is visible on Sasha's jacket.
When we have dinner with our family, my mom sits next to my dad in the middle of the table, and my sister and I sit on the other two sides. Usually our lunch starts with soup, then the second and third. I love cherry compote the most. For lunch we eat borscht, cabbage soup, chicken broth, or broth with meatballs. For the second course we have mashed potatoes, rice, buckwheat porridge with milk and more pasta. Sometimes we eat salads at home: from cucumbers and tomatoes with mayonnaise, from pickled cabbage, with chicken and broccoli.
The dishes in our house are all glass, except for spoons and forks. I really love how my mother cooks, and in some ways Zinaida Serebryakova’s picture reminds me of her, only if this cook had not existed. Mom cooks everything for us herself, that’s why I love food and mom so much.

Essay based on the painting by Zinaida Evgenievna Serebryakova “At Lunch”
Zinaida Evgenievna Serebryakova was born on November 28, 1884 in the family estate “Neskuchnoe”, near Kharkov. Her father was a famous sculptor. Her mother came from the Benois family, and in her youth was a graphic artist. Her brothers were no less talented, the younger one was an architect, and the older one was a master of monumental painting and graphics. Zinaida owes her artistic development primarily to her uncle Alexander Benois, her mother’s brother and older brother. The artist spent her childhood and youth in St. Petersburg in the house of her grandfather, architect N. L. Benois, and on the Neskuchny estate. Zinaida's attention was always attracted by the work of young peasant girls in the fields. Subsequently, this will be reflected more than once in her work. In 1886, after the death of his father, the family moved from the estate to St. Petersburg. All family members were busy with creative activities, and Zina also painted with enthusiasm.
In 1900, Zinaida graduated from a women's gymnasium and entered an art school founded by Princess M.K. Tenisheva. In 1902-1903, during a trip to Italy, she created many sketches and sketches. In 1905 she married Boris Anatolyevich Serebryakov, her cousin. After the wedding, the young couple went to Paris. Here Zinaida attends the Academy de la Grande Chaumiere, works a lot, draws from life. A year later, the young return home. In Neskuchny, Zinaida works hard - creating sketches, portraits and landscapes. In the very first works of the artist, one can already discern her own style and determine her range of interests.
In 1910, Zinaida Serebryakova experienced real success. At the 7th exhibition of Russian artists in Moscow, the Tretyakov Gallery acquires the self-portrait “Behind the Toilet” and the gouache “Greenery in Autumn”. Her landscapes are magnificent - pure, bright colors, perfection of technology, unprecedented beauty of nature. During the Civil War, Zinaida's husband was on research in Siberia, and she and her children were in Neskuchny. It seemed impossible to move to Petrograd, and Zinaida went to Kharkov, where she found a job at the Archaeological Museum. Her family estate in Neskuchny burned down, and all her works were lost. Boris later died. Circumstances force the artist to leave Russia. She goes to France. All these years the artist lived in constant thoughts about her husband. She painted four portraits of her husband, which are kept in the Tretyakov Gallery and the Novosibirsk Art Gallery.
In the 20s, Zinaida Serebryakova returned with her children to Petrograd, to Benoit’s former apartment. Zinaida's daughter Tatyana began studying ballet. Zinaida and her daughter visit the Mariinsky Theater and go behind the scenes. Creative communication with ballerinas over 3 years was reflected in an amazing series of ballet portraits and compositions. The family is going through difficult times. Serebryakova tried to paint paintings to order, but it didn’t work out for her. She loved working with nature. In the first years after the revolution, lively exhibition activity began in the country. In 1924, Serebryakova became an exhibitor at a large exhibition of Russian fine art in America. All the paintings presented to her were sold. With the money raised, she decides to go to Paris to organize an exhibition and receive orders. In 1924 she leaves.
The years spent in Paris did not bring her joy or creative satisfaction. She yearned for her homeland and tried to reflect her love for her in her paintings. Her first exhibition took place only in 1927. She sent the money she earned to her mother and children. In 1961, two Soviet artists visited her in Paris - S. Gerasimov and D. Shmarinov. Later in 1965, they organize an exhibition for her in Moscow. In 1966, the last, large exhibition of Serebryakova’s works took place in Leningrad and Kyiv. In 1967, in Paris at the age of 82, Zinaida Evgenievna Serebryakova died.

What are they doing? Shura is eating soup. Zhenya drinks water. Tata doesn’t want to eat, so he covers the plate with his chubby hand. Or perhaps he prefers soup, a bun lying in the center of the table on a special dish. Look at the chair Tata is sitting on. What do you see? There is a cushion on the chair, the girl is small and cannot reach the table, so she sits on the cushion.
The children have a blush on their cheeks, they probably came running from a walk. That’s why Zhenya drinks water so greedily. What's on the table? The table is big enough. It is covered with a white tablecloth. Elegant table service made of white porcelain with blue ornaments. Tureen, portion and soup plates, salt shaker and other items from one set. What else did you notice in the picture? We see an empty chair and a device standing on the table.

Are you interested in the picture? Everything is simple and aesthetically pleasing, which indicates the good taste of the housewife.

She is very beautiful.
At lunch (At breakfast)

They are all dressed in school uniforms, which means the guys have just come from school and have not yet had time to change clothes. Hungry, they immediately ran to the table.
In the foreground there is a boy, he is sitting on a chair and is already eating the delicious soup that his mother has prepared. He appears to be about ten years old, the eldest child in this family. The boy is depicted turned towards the artist and it feels like he was called, but he did not expect this at all, because he did not even have time to let go of the spoon.
The next artist depicted a girl. She is a very sweet little girl, about six years old. The girl is probably a first-grader and is just getting used to school. She sits on the very edge of her chair, waiting for her portion of hot and aromatic soup. Hearing that someone called her brother, she also turned towards the voice.
The third boy sits on the other side of the table. He is holding a glass of water and is thinking about something. He probably has a little trouble at school or got a bad grade and is afraid to say so.
The artist also depicted the hands of a caring mother who pours hot soup for her child.
The pictured table is covered with a beautiful white tablecloth, it is incredibly large and you can immediately see that a large and friendly family lives here.The dishes that stand on the table are very beautiful, they are painted with an unusual blue pattern.As for food, there is not only hot and tasty soup on the table, but also freshly baked buns and chocolate cookies.

The atmosphere emanating from this picture is very homely and warm. After all, what could be better than a big and friendly family?
Surprisingly, Zinaida Serebryakova managed to convey not only the atmosphere happening at the table, but looking at the canvas, we can hear and feel something more.
