About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Пейзаж. Часть французского регулярного парка. На первом плане уходящая влево и затем поворачивающая вглубь аллея с серо-охристым покрытием. На ней с лева высокая серая ваза, в глубине еще одна. В правой части картины, ниже по уровню, чем аллея, фигурный зеленый партер, окайленный боскетом, с круглой сиренов-зеленой клумбой в центре (срезана краем). По левую сторону аллеи по всей ее длине, идет вглубь зеленовато-темный боскет, за ним постриженные в виде конусов темнозеленые деревья. В глубине отдельно стоящие высокие редкие деревья. Серое небо.
