Salambo`s Room 1909

"Salambo's Room," painted in 1909 by Konstantin Korovin, depicts a theatrical set design. This Impressionistic sketch is likely a study for a larger work, demonstrating Korovin's skill in capturing the atmosphere of a stage setting. The use of color and light, particularly the warm glow from the chandelier and the green-hued background, creates a sense of depth and drama. This preliminary sketch for a theatrical production, likely for a play based on the novel "Salambo" by Gustave Flaubert, highlights Korovin's talents as both a painter and a designer.
