In the life of Vasily Perov
The whole life1865–1870
From satire to the drama of the “humiliated and insulted”
The canvases “Seeing Off the Dead” and “The Queue at the Fountain”, which won first prizes at the competitions of the Moscow Society of Art Lovers and the Society for the Encouragement of Artists, opened a new stage: from satirical subjects Perov moved to more dramatic ones, about the “humiliated and insulted”.

Five paintings at the 1867 World's Fair
Five of Perov's paintings were shown at the 1867 World's Fair: “Seeing Off the Dead”, “The First Rank”, “The Amateur”, “The Bachelor Guitarist” and “Troika”; T. Thoré-Bürger noted that he was Russian both in his choice of subjects and in his manner.
