Arkadi Soroka (1921-2010), Ukrainian/Russian artist is here working in a rather impressionistic Soviet Socialist Realist style. He worked mainly in Vinnitsa and participated in numerous exhibitions as a member of the Union of Ukrainian Artists.
This is an appealing, even friendly small watercolor of the great social-economist, who sits invitingly on a park bench with hat beside him in what for this viewer is an unusual pose.
Nice multi-tonal and impressionistic brushwork with a wee bit of pigment the artist has purposefully allowed to overlap into some of the margins. White matting tabs are present.
