Autumn Evening 1923

"Autumn Evening" (1923) by Igor Grabar, a prominent Russian artist known for his landscapes and Impressionistic style, depicts a serene scene of a winding river meandering through a valley blanketed in the warm hues of autumn. The foreground features a cluster of trees, their leaves tinged with golden yellows and reds, while a distant line of trees frames the horizon. The gentle curve of the river and the soft, hazy blue sky above evoke a sense of tranquility and the passing of time. Grabar's masterful use of light and color creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the beauty of the natural world in a timeless portrayal of an autumn evening.
