At the dam 1900

Volodymyr Orlovsky's 1900 painting "At the Dam" depicts a serene rural scene. Two women in traditional garb stand on a wooden bridge overlooking a stream, while a horse-drawn cart travels along a path in the distance. The lush greenery, cloudy sky, and tranquil water create a peaceful atmosphere, typical of Orlovsky's landscape paintings which often focused on the beauty of the natural world. Orlovsky, a prominent Russian painter, was known for his realistic style and his portrayal of everyday life in the countryside. This work exemplifies his ability to capture the simple charm and picturesque nature of the Ukrainian landscape.
