Northern island of Valaam. Severe gloominess of nature, poverty and melancholy monotony. Naked stony soil, barely covered by low mosses, stunted thin trees, a shallow swampy river with a translucent stony bottom, and a blue-black haze of low-hanging clouds, expressively conveyed in the picture, leave a dull, bleak impression.
This picture attracted the attention of the artistic community to Kuindzhi. Many people admired her amazing silver tone.
