Carved ivory figurine of a boy with a bird, standing on a collapsible pedestal. A rural bird catcher in a straw hat is ironically represented by an ancient philosopher in the pose of a pastoral thinker. The bird in hand is a kind of theme for thinking about freedom. But who else in the human world can be freer than a carefree bird catcher?

Eclecticism. Historicism.
 Eclecticism or Historicism is an era of historical quotations, where the slogan "Smart Choice" meant the selectivity of the best and the most appropriate for a specific case and task. Has consistently survived (with national variations): Neo-Greek, Neo-Gothic. Second Baroque. Pompeian style, Ottoman style, Neo-Romance, Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Byzantine and in particular Neo-Russian styles; and ends with a distinctive fusion of the time of Napoleon III. As a rule, it assumes a basic consistency of the classicist basis and baroque decor. Works with measure and proportions of styles in one piece. Offers a finely aged cocktail of various ingredients. Got a vivid embodiment in architecture, furniture and arts and crafts, and in the interior.
