About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Холст «Зима» — замечательный образец живописной маэстрии Коровина. Здесь ряд широко положенных раздельных мазков по желтоватой основе передает сугробы и старый снег на пригорках, создает эффект прояснивающегося неба у горизонта. Красное пятно платка спешащей крестьянки, поддержанное сине-зеленым мерцанием леса вдали, усиливает энергию образа. Каталог выставки в Малаге «Времена года. Произведения из собрания Русского музея». 2015. С. 31.
