The painting was written by Fedor Vasilyev in Ukraine in the estate of Count SG Stroganov “Hoten” shortly before his death. The composition is solved in a typical manner for the artist, with Vasilyev’s almost obligatory diagonally escaping alley, the rupture of which is fixed in the center of the picture by a small white structure.
The tragic premonition of early death was expressed in this landscape especially strongly. Contrasts of light and shadows, the alternation of horizontal plans, heavy clouds of a stormy sky with equal force reflect both the specific landscape motive and the artist’s inner sensations.
