A Boy and A Girl

Sender: Ingelill
A Boy And A Car

Some of us played with pulling toy cars or other pull-along toys when we were small!

Ingelill writes that this painting is of Alyonushka, a character from a Russian fairy tale

Excerpt from the fairytale:-

"Sister, dear Sister Alyonushka!
Swim out, swim out to me.
Fires are burning high,
Pots are boiling,
Knives are ringing,
And I am going to die." 

"Brother, dear Brother Ivanushka!
A heavy stone lies on my shoulders,
Silken weeds entangle my legs, 
Yellow sands press harden my breast."
