The artwork is titled “Winter Wheat,” created by the artist Zinaida Serebriakova in the year 1910. It belongs to the Impressionism movement and is a landscape genre painting.
The artwork depicts an expansive field of winter wheat stretching towards a horizon under a wide, open sky. The field, marked by parallel rows of young green crops, conveys a sense of depth and movement, typical of Impressionism’s nuanced handling of light and shadow. In the distance, diminutive figures of farmers and their oxen can be seen, adding a narrative element that suggests agricultural labor and rural life. The sky above is a mixture of soft hues, indicative of an impending twilight, enhancing the tranquility and pastoral beauty of the scene.
