About the painting
Museum text in Russian
На переднем плане песчанной степи поросшей отдельными кустами цветущего репейника - два турецких солдата. В темно-зеленой форме с красной обшивкой. В центре сидящей в фас зрителю оперся левой рукой на песок, правой придерживает ствол винтовки со штыком. Справа от него стоит второй солдат с удлиненным лицом в краснойшапке с кистью. Обеими руками он опирается на ствол винтовки. На втором плане пожелтевшая заросль кустарника. Вдали видно селение. На горизонте невысокие горы покрытые голубой дымкой. Небо - зеленовато-голубое с розоватыми облаками.
