“V Pokhid” (Departure)

Departure is a poignant original oil painting by V.V. Bondar which captures a powerful moment of farewell between a Kozak and a girl leaning on him in sorrow. The man stands beside a horse, holding a long spear, while the woman clutches his hand, dressed in folk costume.

In the background, other villagers say their farewells. The rural setting, with dirt paths, wooden fences, and thatched buildings, evokes a deep sense of nostalgia and cultural heritage. The soft hues of the sky and the emotional depth of the figures make this piece a moving tribute to love, duty, and country.
