The artwork, titled “Landscape with an isba,” is an oil painting on canvas created by Isaac Levitan in 1899 in the Russian Federation. This piece, which falls under the Realism art movement and landscape genre, is housed in the Museum of Arts of Uzbekistan in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The artwork portrays a serene rural scene characterized by a modest isba (a traditional Russian wooden house) positioned prominently to the left. The structure blends harmoniously with the lush surroundings, characterized by a slightly curved dirt road leading deeper into the landscape. The road meanders past faintly visible fences and diminishes into the horizon, bordered by a line of distant trees under a vast, muted sky. The painting employs a natural, earthy palette, enhancing the tranquil and rustic atmosphere. The brushstrokes, while precise, evoke a spontaneous and organic feel, capturing the essence of a quietly enduring countryside.
