About the painting
In the museum's own words — in Russian
Летний вечерний лиственный лес. На первом плане между высоких деревьев - тропа, слева и справа которой распиленные стволы деревьев, зеленая густая трава. По тропинке движется женщина в светлой кофте и темно-красно-коричневом сарафане, поддерживающая рукой предмет на голове. В глубине леса справа за деревьями два красных огонька - освещенные окна едва различимого дома с двускатной крышей, левее еще один огонек. Вдали сквозь деревья просвечивает малиново-сиренево-оранжевый горизонт вечернего закатного неба. Вверху под верхушками деревьев небо более светлое от последних лучей уже невидимого заходящего солнца, в оттенках заката. Колорит темно-зелено-сиренево-малиново-коричневый.
