Presentation of a unique lifetime portrait of Yakub Kolas in Vitebsk

In the year that marks the 140th anniversary of the poet’s birth, the artist-restorer of the Vitebsk Oblast Local Lore Museum Yuri Kegelev restored Abram Brazer’s painting that had been kept in the vaults of the Vitebsk Art Museum for about 95 years.
