Gatchina. Interior 1922

Zinaida Serebriakova's 1922 pastel drawing "Gatchina. Interior" captures the elegant interior of a grand estate. The viewer is presented with a glimpse of the hallway, showcasing a glimpse of another room, while the main focus is on the richly decorated parlor. The deep blue upholstery of the seating, including a large sofa and several armchairs, contrasts with the warm, muted tones of the walls and the gilded frames of the paintings adorning the walls, evoking an atmosphere of refined elegance. The pastel technique creates a soft and ethereal quality, further enhancing the overall sense of tranquility.
