Barge Haulers On The Volga
This is the painting I was talking about. I think it's so haunting. It tells so many stories in one image. I think it's hard to tell, but the fourth guy from the left is staring right at the viewer with a look of exhaustion and questioning on his face. I love it. The piece is by Ilya Repin and has the date 1870 on it.

You were just 18 months old when we took you to the art museum in Memphis. People were amazed at how long you could study a painting. It was a favorite place for you.
