About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Перед нами лес после только что прошедшего дождя. На земле, на переднем плане - лужи. Вода в них - золотистого цвета от лучей заходящего солнца. В нижнем левом углу - засохшие ветви. На втором плане две группы елей - справа и слева. Их стволы вверху срезаны рамой картины. Между ними - дорожка, идущая вглубь картины. Слева, у подножия елей - группа крестьян-охотников с собакой. В просвете между деревьями - зеленые луга, голубое небо, к горизонту - золотистое. На лицевой стороне справа внизу подпись: Шишкинъ 1879.
