Harvest 1931

Konstantin Gorbatov's 1931 oil painting "Harvest" is a pastoral depiction of a rural scene. The composition features a line of hay bales in the foreground leading the viewer's eye toward several rustic houses in the distance. The artist's use of warm colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of light and warmth, capturing the beauty of a summer day in the countryside. "Harvest" is a testament to the Russian realist tradition, capturing the everyday life of rural communities and celebrating the bounty of nature. This artwork is a notable example of the artist's style, who is known for his landscapes and scenes of peasant life.
