Filonov's early works were amongst them. LOT NOTES According to an assessment of the experts from State Russian Museum, the present lot was painted during the early period of Filonov's artistic path.

He describes the subjects of his sketches as comprised of bedouins, beggars, fishermen, peasants, gypsies, ladies, old men, children, and landscapes. Dmitriyev-Kavkazsky kept the selected works of his students, brought back from the trips, in his possession until he died in 1916. The works then were acquired by Georgiy Dolukhanov.
