The painting depicts a group of seated and attentive Soviet schoolchildren looking towards the viewer’s left, presumably at a teacher outside the visual frame. A bust of V.I. Lenin with strewn flowers is, however, partially visible there. The children wear Red Young Communist neckerchiefs, and a Russian slogan on the wall behind them urges them to “Study and Learn”. However, one pupil on the right looks away to the viewer’s right, like a typical schoolboy losing focus and finding something more interesting to see outdoors.
In 1967 Norman Rockwell had visited School No. 29 in Moscow, where he drew puppy sketches on a chalkboard. Reference photos of the Moscow classroom with pupils, taken as a model for Rockwell’s final painting, reveal that the inattentive pupil is paying close attention to the teacher, with eyes front. It has been suggested that in changing this detail, Rockwell slightly subverted the image to make a subtle political point in favor of non-conformity
