Our hero has decorated his papacha with a red "wing", as can clearly be seen in Ilja Repin's painting ...:
We can only speculate about exactly what this "wing" looked like, because unfortunately it is not possible to walk around the boy and look at him from behind.
But we have clues ...:
These "wings" were at that time (and are it again!) very different in size and had different shapes; This was decided by the owner of the cap - only "gorgeous" it had to look!
There were short "wings" that hung just above the cap edge ...
... medium-long "wings" ...
...and very long ones...:
There were even those that hung down to the waist ...:
The color was at the decision of the owner of the cap - considering the abundance of the old images, reds of all shapes seem to have been preferred.
This can also be seen in the - very well researched! - Ukrainian movie "Taras Bulba" ...:
As you can see on the next picture, there are "wings" that are cut around at the bottom (gray papacha on the left) and those that are triangular - bag-shaped - (black cap on the right!) ...:
And something else is noticeable:
At many of these wings was - and is! - sewn on a small tassel below, it usually appears golden ...:
Since we can only speculate about the back (and the "wing") of Artjom as I said, I have first taken the artistic freedom, and donated the boy such a tassel from "Milliput".
Then I painted the wing - of course in red, as in Repin's template!
That happened with these colors ...:
And now Artjom looks a bit like Santa Claus - but it fits the template!
Unfortunately, I have just finished, the whole thing gleams a bit ..:
Here again the self-kneaded tassel, whose priming and painting is on the agenda for tomorrow ...:
Cheers
