Oil painting on canvas titled "Зима" (Hiver), from Russia in the 1970s–1980s, by École Russe, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Hand-signed with initials.
- No one among the Russian painters understands better that snow is not white, but an infinite prism of icy blues, pale violets, and golden western lights. From Levitan to Shishkin, their brush does not merely depict the harsh weather; it conveys the dense silence, melancholy, and the imperishable soul that beat beneath the vastness of the steppe winter.
- Image dimensions unframed: 60 x 50 cm / 74 x 63.5 cm with exclusive custom frame.
