About the painting
Museum text in Russian
На переднем плане - широкая река. Из левого нижнего угла вправо её срезает берег, образующий три выступа: ближний - из зарослей камышей с засохшим стволом молодой берёзы, второй выступ - поросший кустарником и густо растущими берёзками в осеннем уборе, третий выступ - большая зелёная лужайка с тремя группами берёзок. На заднем плане лес написан плотной массой с резким контуром наверху. На воде, вдали, виден силуэт лодки с двумя седоками.

In the life of Isaac Levitan
The whole lifeautumn 1873
Admitted to the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture
At thirteen he enters the school where his elder brother Abel-Leib has studied since 1871; his teachers are Vasily Perov, Alexei Savrasov and Vasily Polenov.

He discovers Plyos on the Volga
In spring 1888 he sails by steamer along the Oka to Nizhny Novgorod and on up the Volga with the artist Alexei Stepanov and Sofia Kuvshinnikova; to their own surprise they discover the small, quiet town of Plyos and decide to stay on for a while. The three summer seasons there (1888–1890) prove extremely productive: some two hundred works bring Levitan wide fame.
