The image is a print of a painting depicting a group of Volga barge haulers, known as *burlaki*, pulling a barge on a sandy shore. The *burlaki* are shown in a line, straining against the ropes that tow the barge. They are dressed in ragged clothing, and their bodies are hunched over with effort. The barge is a traditional sailing vessel with a single mast. The background shows a body of water and a hazy sky. Below the painting, there is text in Russian that appears to be a caption, identifying the artist, title, and museum. The text reads: "И. Е. Репин. Бурлаки на Волге. Государственный Русский музей. Ленинград." This translates to: "I. E. Repin. Barge Haulers on the Volga. State Russian Museum. Leningrad." There is also text to the right which reads "К см. Бурлаки." which translates to "See also. Barge Haulers." The scene is arid and appears to be during the daytime. There is no indication in the image or its captions that this image is located in Zhmerynka, Ukraine.
