Описание есть а рассказ нет просто вот Описание картины Bogatyrs (Богатыри)

In the painting “Bogatyrs” we can see three bogatyrs, who are the main characters of numerous Russian fairy tales.

In the foreground of the painting there is Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets and Alyosha Popovich sitting astraddle.

In the middle, on the black horse there is Ilya Muromets. He is depicted looking into the distance. He is holding a spear and a shield in one hand and a club in the other hand. On the left, on the white horse there is Dobrynya Nikitich. We can see that he is approximately of the same age as Ilya. Dobrynya is keeping his hand on the sword as if ready to plunge into action. On the right, on the sorrel horse there is Alyosha Popovich. He is the youngest of all. They all are wearing hard hats and chain armours.

In the background of the painting there are vast expanses of hills covered with trees. Over the bogatyrs’ heads we can see clouds gathering.
