About the painting "Deuce Again"
In 1952, the artist Reshetnikov on his canvas depicted a whole family: a mother and her three children, one of them is a schoolboy who has just come home. A tear-off calendar is visible on one wall, and a walking clock near the doors. The picture tells the story of a family household environment, typical for most families in the 1950s.
The hero of the picture is a ten-year-old teenager. In appearance, it is noticeable that he was in no hurry after his school hours to go home, but for quite a long time he walked on the street and skated with his peers. The boy is wearing a winter coat, it is open because it does not have several buttons. They probably came off. In his hand he holds a briefcase pretty tattered and tied, it is possible that the student used it as a ball or sled more than once. Skates peek out from under his briefcase. Evidence of the boy's long walk in the street is his disheveled hair, red ears, a blush on his cheeks, which happens from a hard frost.
He is upset, his head is down, his gaze is fixed on the floor. The boy, with all his appearance, shows how he worries about the deuce, received for the umpteenth time. For him, this situation is not new, he knows what to do. The student has already made a promise to his mother many times that he will do all the homework that is asked at school. The teenager played so hard that he completely forgot about the lessons. The days in winter are much shorter, he played snowballs with the yard guys for a long time, it got dark, and he came home. The student did not want to go home, because he knew that his mother would scold him again for a deuce.
The only one who is happy to see the boy is his white dog with red spots. He jumped on the young owner and rested his front paws on his chest, tried to lick. The dog wags its tail happily, wanting to play with the boy.
The room is quiet. The mother's rare heavy sighs are heard. She sits at the dining table, her hands in her lap. It seems that she just got distracted from her household chores, of which she has a lot. Seeing her son, a schoolboy with an unkempt appearance, she realizes that her son came from the street, where he played with the guys for a long time, forgetting about the lessons. The mother does not see that her son regrets about the poor grade he received recently. Due to the fact that his mother and older sister are in the room, he pretends to be sad. The woman is very tired, she does not seem to have the strength to influence her child and make him study more diligently at school. Longing and sadness is read in the woman's gaze.
Near the woman is the younger brother of a student with a failing grade, who is sitting on a child's bicycle. The preschool child smiles maliciously and maliciously. He is pleased that this time it is not him who is being scolded for leprosy, but someone else.
