Ivan Fomich Khrutsky (Іван Хруцкі in Belarusian) was a painter born in the (formerly Russian) village of Ulla in1810. He attended the St. Petersburg's Imperial Academy of Arts and he became well known for his still lifes and portraits. The two postcards show two of his masterpieces and the same matching stamp was used for both. The stamp was issued in 2010 by Belpochta to commemorate Khrutsky's 200th birth anniversary.
