Master Masha Vinogradova from Russia presents us with a magnificent work of costumbrist illustration that we could well place it in the 18th century without touching Neoclassicism, showing in it, very good works and a brilliant work. "Enlightenment signifies the movement of man out of a mental puerility of which he himself is guilty.... " said Immanuel Kant. Masha Vinogradova's Art links us with this concept, showing a very personal and magnificent form of illustration.

Costumbrismo, unlike Realism, with which it is closely related, does not make an analysis of those uses and customs that it relates and therefore remains a mere portrait or reflection without opinion of these customs, which is why we often speak of a "painting of customs" or genre to refer to any of these manifestations, usually pictorial. The concept applies to all the arts, being able to speak of folklore as a form of costumbrismo. However, it has a transversal consideration throughout the history of art, so it is present at any time of it, although it tends to speak mainly of costumbrismo when it speaks of the melancholy of its lost peasant origins and sees in the exodus from the countryside to the city that certain traditional customs and values begin to be lost or transformed. Masha Vinogradova shows us in a measured exhibition, that she revives, after a not so naive reflection and a brief but exhaustive analysis, these concepts in the content of her work.
