A pretty bronze madam is sitting at the main entrance to the Komarovsky market in Minsk, selling sunflower seeds and feeding sparrows with them. The sculpture has several names: "Peddler of seeds", "Monument to small business", "Peddler and sparrows".
The author of "The Trader" is Oleg Kupriyanov.
The sculpture turned out to be so popular with Minsk residents and guests of the city that legends have already been formed about it. For example, if you touch a sparrow, you will be happy, and if you touch the seeds in a bag, you will be rich.
The grandmother-trader is the very image that Minsk residents (and not only them) remembered for a long time and was deposited in their memory from the time when retail sale of seeds from grandmothers' hands was widespread everywhere. The portion was usually measured in faceted glasses or medium glasses. Each such grandmother had her own clientele, but it was always possible to bargain.

The genre sculpture is so atmospheric and real that I would like to recall the Soviet police (not to be confused with the police) youth and after checking the documents with a colorful Lady ["There are three left of the sunflower sellers in the market.
This is the fourth one...
But she does not give credit either, as in the joke and in general" (Vladislav k, a city expert of the 10th level on November 18, 2021)] to draw up a protocol on the commission of an administrative offense, although I am already with 200? a year on a well-deserved pension.
That's the power of genius art!

One of the small sculptures of Minsk, Komarovka's business card. It is very difficult to find such colorful grandmothers anywhere else.
