Evening 1923

"Evening" (1923) is a woodblock print by the Russian artist Anna Ostroumova-Lebedeva. The artist is known for her mastery of the technique and for her depictions of the Russian landscape, which she rendered in a bold, graphic style. This print, with its dark, shadowy forms and delicate lines, portrays a quiet evening scene, with the viewer looking out at a body of water silhouetted by trees. The contrast of light and dark, and the texture of the woodblock create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This piece is a fine example of Ostroumova-Lebedeva's artistic talent and her unique ability to capture the essence of the natural world in a powerful and evocative manner.
