Sculpture "Shoe Cleaner"

The sculpture of a shoe cleaner in Nizhny Novgorod is very complementary to the historical street of the city, Bolshoy Pokrovskaya, on which sculptures of residents of the 19th century are placed. Shoe cleaning was a very popular profession at the time. Sitting in an apron, with black brushes in his hands and with a wooden box in front, most often met at the entrance of visitors to restaurants and hotels and diligently brushed the shoes of gentlemen to shine.

Today, such characters can only be seen immortalized in bronze. The sculpture of a shoe cleaner attracts great attention of passers-by, residents and guests of the city.
