Troika

In this picture, Vasily Perov addresses the topic of child labor. Three tired and cold children are dragging a sleigh with a barrel full of water along the winter street. The pouring water freezes in icicles on the surface of the barrel, which once again makes it clear how cold the children must be. Behind the wagon pushes an adult man. An icy wind blows in the face of the children. The wagon is accompanied by a dog running on the right in front of the children.
