Summer 1922

"Summer" (1922) by Boris Kustodiev is a vibrant depiction of a rural Russian landscape. Painted in a style characteristic of the artist's later years, the painting showcases a vast, golden field of wheat under a dramatic sky filled with billowing clouds. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage carrying a group of people navigates through the field, creating a sense of movement and life. The painting evokes a feeling of summer's warmth and joy, and it is a testament to Kustodiev's ability to capture the beauty of his native land.
