For the love potion
Mikhail Vasilyevich Nesterov
To be fair to the artist, many of his works display a finer touch, although I chose this piece because it is a startling representation of Russian life. This painting was done in 1888, and the poverty and backwardness of the Russian peasant is incredible. Relatively modern clothing, but a thostaed roof log cabin, probably windowless, with a dirt floor. And this is likely to be typical.
