In his recollections of youth, Kazimir Malevich wrote that he made a painting called *Moonlit Night* in Konotop. A friend displayed it in a stationery shop window, and it was bought for five rubles. Malevich was then asked to paint a larger landscape with a grove and storks; that work was sold too. The episode comes from the artist’s autobiographical account, recorded later.
