The painting titled 'Tchitchikov's farewell to Manilov' captures a humorous scene reminiscent of Naïve art (primitivism), with simplified figures and a charming, almost childish charm. Rendered on paper, the artwork employs delicate etching techniques that give it a subtle texture and depth. Its composition resembles an illustration, blending narrative storytelling with a naive aesthetic.
