The artwork, entitled “Field,” was created by Isaac Levitan circa 1885 in the Russian Federation. It is rendered in pencil on paper and is an example of the Realism art movement. The piece falls within the genre of sketch and study, showcasing Levitan’s meticulous attention to capturing the nuances of the landscape.
In “Field,” the artist presents a serene and expansive countryside scene with minimalistic strokes. The composition features a soft, almost ethereal depiction of a field stretching into the distance, with sparse outlines of trees and a barely visible structure. The pencil lines are delicate and suggest movement, perhaps of grass swaying in the breeze. The subtlety of the drawing invites viewers to contemplate the quiet beauty and tranquility of a rural environment. The simplicity and restraint in Levitan’s technique evoke a profound sense of calm and introspection.
