Trojka met twee paarden in de sneeuw before 1899

"Trojka met twee paarden in de sneeuw" is a black and white photograph by Alexis Mazourine, taken before 1899. The image depicts a troika, a traditional Russian horse-drawn sleigh, traveling through a snowy landscape. The troika is composed of three horses pulling the sleigh. The composition is simple, with a strong emphasis on the snow-covered ground and the iconic Russian church building in the background. The image provides a glimpse into the winter landscapes of Russia and the role of the troika in Russian transportation and culture. This photograph is a valuable visual record of pre-revolutionary Russia and captures the distinctive features of the country’s environment and transportation.
