On the Terrace 1931

Konstantin Gorbatov’s 1931 oil painting, "On the Terrace", depicts a tranquil scene of a terrace overlooking a lush landscape. The terrace is furnished with two wicker chairs and a small table covered in a vibrantly colored cloth. A vase of flowers dominates the center of the painting, adding a splash of color to the otherwise calm composition. The use of light and shadow, particularly on the floor and the furniture, highlights the serene atmosphere of the terrace. The overall effect is one of peace and quietude, suggesting a moment of respite and reflection.
