Zhukovsky is a Russian artist with Polish roots, a famous landscape painter who worked in the style of realism and impressionism.

Salvador Dali's 1976 oil painting “The Unicorn” is referred to as unfinished in all sources, while Dali’s work “The Jolly Unicorn” of 1977 is identical to this painting.

Khabarov’s picture is quite interesting. We see a girl who is passionate about reading a book. All her attention is absorbed by this process. The girl comfortably settled in an armchair right with her legs. On the right we see skates that are laid carelessly. For this detail, we can assume that Mila recently walked and now returned.
