Wife at work and at home. One of the most popular “werewolf”-pictures – ‘Wife at work and at home”, sometimes – “Before and after the wedding”, and abroad – “Before and after six mugs of beer”. On turning the image by 180 degrees (i.e. “upside down”) the picture of a young woman turns to a portrait of an ugly old lady. An unknown artist invented and painted it as early as in the 19th century, and after that the picture was re-drawn and published several times. A modern version painted by Moscow artist L.V.Volkov is represented in the upper left corner. |
