I have no context for this painting, but I assume it's a depiction of young men going off to join the Red Army in World War II.

Angela Plater came to modelling later in life - and is showing us all what it's all about!

Her first assignment (via RAM!) was with Rankin and Channel 4 and she has been working with a variety of artists and photographers giving her a diverse portfolio.
Her image has been hanging in the Amstel Gallery Amsterdam. She sat for a work by David Kretschmer 'Confessions' where she was invited to Germany to work. This image has now been published in the German Magazine PROFIFOTO which may be accessed online.
She has worked the catwalk just the once for the Cambridge Weight Plan Convention in 2011 and was highly praised.

She has recently been cast as a naked elderly lady in Terry Johnson's 'Hysteria' to take place in Bath at the Royal Court Theatre from July 23rd to August 18 then on tour for three weeks until September 8th 2012.
