Soviet hand-drawn 2D animation still from the late 1970s, painterly gouache and watercolor backgrounds on textured paper, soft edges, almost no black outlines, muted palette of ochre, umber, grey-blue and warm white, gentle film grain, flat lighting with soft atmospheric haze, characters drawn simply with expressive silhouettes, no 3D rendering, no glossy surfaces. A stern middle-aged woman in a dark high-collared 1870s dress stands in a Russian drawing room with heavy curtains and a samovar, arms crossed. Facing her, the boy from the reference image looks back steadily. Two-shot, afternoon window light, vertical 9:16, no text.
