Who was Leonid Solomatkin?

Leonid Ivanovich Solomatkin was a Russian genre painter.

Solomatkin was born in 1837 and was orphaned soon afterwards. He worked his early life as a shepherd boy and later sold religious icons. Solomatkin managed to gain an apprenticeship and began work as a painter. Solomatkin's success was significant, but short-lived. From the late 1860s he stopped exhibiting and was almost forgotten.
