About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Изображена зеленая поляна с высокими деревьями с пышными, ярко-зелеными кронами. На поляне множество народа в ярких праздничных одеждах. На переднем плане слева два торговца с лотками - цветами и сладостями. Правее от них купеческая семья: впереди идут две женщины в светлых атласных платьях. На плечах старшей из них - цветастая шаль, в руках молодой - букет цветов. За ними: купец с окладистой бородой, в картузе и молодой человек в желтой шляпе. В глубине справа - высокая церковь с позолоченными куполами. Небо голубое с бело-розовыми облаками.

In the life of Boris Kustodiev
The whole life1918
Decorates Petrograd for the first anniversary of October
After the Revolution Kustodiev helped decorate Petrograd for the first anniversary of the October Revolution, and drew posters, popular prints and pictures on revolutionary themes.
1918–1921
Opera designs: “The Snow Maiden”, “The Tsar's Bride”
His opera designs were a success: “The Snow Maiden” for the Bolshoi Theatre (1918, never staged), “The Tsar's Bride” at the Bolshoi Opera Theatre of the People's House (1920), and set and costume designs for Serov's “The Power of the Fiend” at the former Mariinsky Theatre (1921).
1922
Illustrates Zamyatin's “How the Monk Erasmus Was Healed”
Kustodiev designed a separate illustrated edition of Yevgeny Zamyatin's story “How the Monk Erasmus Was Healed”. Zamyatin recalled that a seemingly insoluble task was solved with remarkable elegance, tact and a great sense of humour.
1922–1923
Illustrates Leskov
With his fine feeling for line, Kustodiev illustrated Leskov's “The Darner” (1922) and “Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District” (1923); he also worked in lithography and linocut.
