RU-6508172 Andrey Shishkin's "Housewife"

This lovely postcard was sent by Mary (Postcrossing, 8 June 2018).
The title of this piece of art is titled simply as "Housewife" and it was painted by Andrey Shishkin.

Andrey Shishkin was born in Moscow in 1960. He began painting at the age of 15, when he realized that his true calling was to research the human character: in its ups an downs, strengths and weaknesses, kindness and cruelty, sadness and joy. Because of this, Andrey's favourite genre is portrait. He produces amazing work even though he is largely self-taught. Andrey is proud to take part in creating painting for several Russian Orthodox cathedrals and churches. He is also known for his series of portraits of historical characters. Andrey’s favourite work is portrait commissions.
