Village Houses 1903

Konstantin Gorbatov's 1903 painting "Village Houses" depicts a serene rural scene. The artwork showcases a cluster of rustic homes in a landscape dominated by verdant fields and a soft, muted palette. The houses, constructed from timber with thatched roofs, are bathed in the gentle light of a cloudy day. The painting embodies the tranquility and simplicity of rural life, capturing a moment of quietude in a picturesque village setting. The work exemplifies the realist style favored by Russian artists during the early 20th century, capturing the everyday details of peasant life.
