About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Молодые березки, стоящие на вырубках среди полениц дров, гнуться под ударами ветра и дождя, за плотной пеленой которого сереет вдали полоса леса. Слева, в середине вклинивается невырубленная молодая роща. Небо в середине светло-серое, вверху темно-серое.

The whole lifeMarch 1897
Chekhov the doctor: “Things look bad”

The title of academician and teaching at his old school
