'P is for 'Proverb'!
Jirafka translated the proverb for me and it goes like this:-
"The pot of soup is quite big , but I'm not so small also". So cute!
This charming illustration is by a Russian artist, Elizaveta Bem. Elisabeth Bohm or Elisaveta Merkuryevna Bem (1843-1914) was a Russian painter, the most successful prominent author of postcards in 19th century Russia, depicting children's faces and silhouettes. She is also known for creating a technique of lithoprint Silhouettes. I have checked out other silhouettes done by her and they are amazing!
