“Peasant Girl” (1876) Russia
In this painting we see a peasant girl who has prepared to eat her rustic breakfast. Her meal consists of a plate of milk and a slice of rye bread.
However, the little peasant has a misfortune - she accidentally touches the plate with her elbow and spills the milk, reducing her already meager meal.

The little girl's face is full of frustration and confusion. She holds the spoon to her breast and waits to see what she will get for her mistake. She looks questioningly at the invisible adult, waiting to see if she will be punished or not.

I'm usually indifferent to art and stuff but this one touched me very deeply.

“In a Quiet Abode” 1892 Pavel Filippovich Yakovlev (1853-1921)
An example of Pavel Yakovlev's criticism of the clergy is this famous painting, which was created in the genre of everyday life, but depicts a completely wild, outrageous scandal that broke out within the walls of a monastery.
Two women got into a fierce fight, one of them a nun, the other a lady of the night (of easy virtue), who had come to one of the monastery's inhabitants to perform a certain service, but encountered a rival nun who had come for the same reason and was clearly very jealous...
