Nikolai Leikin, Russian, 20th century, oil on canvas painting. A classical Dutch-style still life featuring jugs, bowls, a ladle, and a silver goblet set against a backdrop of heavy drapery. Light and shadow are constructed according to the principles of academic drawing, with an emphasis on metallic reflections and sheen. The detailed modeling of form, attention to texture, and cool golden palette reflect the artists academic training, influenced by the Russian realist tradition of the 19th–20th centuries. The painting bears hallmarks of academic naturalism — without idealization, yet with decorative completeness and high craftsmanship. Titled Still Life with Copperware. Signed in the lower right and on the backside. Undated. Framed. Condition: original condition with no restorations, period-authentic artists frame. Provenance: private collection. Nikolai Leikins works are held in private collections across Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Mentions of his work can be found in VKhSH regional exhibition catalogs. Collectible Fine Art And Wall Decor, Genre Painting.
