Neskuchnoye. Plowing 1908

"Neskuchnoye. Plowing" (1908) by Zinaida Serebriakova, depicts a rural scene of a farmer and his oxen plowing a field. The painting, executed in a realist style, showcases the artist's interest in capturing the everyday life of the Russian peasantry. The use of warm, earthy tones and broad brushstrokes creates a sense of tranquility and hard-earned peace. The expansive landscape, with its rolling hills and distant farmhouse, emphasizes the vastness of the countryside and the cyclical nature of agricultural labor.
