If you see in a picture a river is painted,
Or a fir-tree and white frost, or a garden and clouds
Or a snowy plane, or a field and a hut
No doubt the picture is called a landscape.
If you see in a picture a cup of coffee on a table,
Or some juice in a big flagon, or a rose in a cut glass,
Or a bronze vase, or some pears or a cake,
Or all the objects at once- you should know it's a still- life.
If you see that from a picture
Someone is looking at us
Either a prince in an ancient cloak,
Or a steeplejack wearing a robe
A pilot or a ballet dancer, or your neighbor Kolka
No doubt the painting is called... A cupboard!
Not a cupboard, but a portrait!
