The Larin`s Garden. Sketch of set for P. Tchaikovsky`s opera 1908

Konstantin Korovin, a prominent Russian Impressionist painter, created this watercolor sketch, "The Larin`s Garden," in 1908. This artwork was a set design for Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's opera, "Eugene Onegin." The scene depicts a classical, green-painted building with a portico, framed by lush greenery. The building's symmetrical design and soft light create a sense of tranquility and romance. The artwork is a testament to Korovin's skill in depicting the beauty of natural settings and architecture in a way that evokes a specific mood, perfectly complementing the opera's narrative.
