Талые Воды. Чайка. Этюд. 1927

"Талые Воды. Чайка. Этюд." (Thawed Waters. Seagull. Sketch) is a 1927 oil painting by Vitold Byalynitsky-Birulya, a Russian-born Belarusian artist known for his landscape paintings. The painting showcases a serene scene of a forest clearing in springtime, with the remnants of snow melting and forming pools of water. The pale blue reflections of the sky and the delicate brushstrokes capture the subtle changes in light and atmosphere that are characteristic of Byalynitsky-Birulya's style. The simple composition, featuring a lone tree and a dilapidated building, emphasizes the tranquility of the scene and the beauty of nature in its transition from winter to spring.
