ITEM OVERVIEW:
An exceptional, museum-quality example of Socialist Realism painted at the height of the mid-century era by celebrated Ukrainian artist Ivan Loboda. This striking, heavily textured oil portrait depicts a young soldier standing an intense, atmospheric guard duty inside a barracks station.
The piece displays phenomenal impasto brushwork, contrasting moody, deep teal backdrops against the sharp, olive-drab lines of the mid-century military uniform and iconic pilot cap featuring the red star insignia.
PROVENANCE & DOCUMENTATION (THE BACK):
This piece features spectacular, undisturbed historical documentation on the reverse stretcher bars that significantly elevates its collector value:
Original Exhibition Passport: An official, partially intact paper "Passport" label issued by the Directorate of Art Exhibitions of Ukraine (Kyiv, Lenin Street print stamp).
Artist Inscriptions: Original, handwritten vintage graphite notations on the bare wood frame mirroring the cataloging details: Artist name (Лобода), Title (Днювальний / "The Sentry"), Date (1964 р.), and the exact 92x64 metric canvas specifications.

It is housed in its highly complementary, heavy mid-century carved wooden frame with a classic linen liner accent. The backing paper is torn/distressed due to age, which has perfectly preserved the original exhibition stamps and pencil signatures underneath.
