Creek in winter 1915

"Creek in Winter" is a watercolor painting by Ivan Bilibin, a prominent Russian artist known for his stylized illustrations and decorative designs. Created in 1915, this piece features a serene winter landscape with a creek winding its way through a snowy forest. Bilibin's use of soft, muted tones, particularly shades of grey and white, evokes a sense of tranquility and solitude, characteristic of his artistic style often associated with the Russian Art Nouveau movement. The detailed depiction of snow-covered branches and the frozen creek creates a harmonious and almost ethereal atmosphere.
