Album navigation:
Valentin Serov’s painting "In Winter" was painted in pastel, gouache, in 1898. It is one of the artist’s best works. Rustic nature is familiar to Serov. The open space is bordered by a forest on the horizon, with a discreet barn in the foreground. A horse-drawn sleigh rides out from behind the barn. The movement of the sled allows you to enjoy the moment, captured by the artist. The softness in the execution, the muted colors, the complex combination of gray, brown and white, all give the feeling of a quiet and tranquil winter day. The simplicity of the image, and the small forest in the distance, the horse-drawn sleigh and the barn in the foreground convey great meaning.

Description of Valentin Serov’s painting "In Winter".
Valentin Serov’s painting "In Winter" was painted in pastel, gouache, in 1898. It is one of the artist’s best works. Rustic nature is familiar to Serov.

The softness in the execution, the muted colors, the complex combination of gray, brown and white, all give the feeling of a quiet and tranquil winter day.
The simplicity of the image, and the small forest in the distance, the horse-drawn sleigh and the barn in the foreground convey great meaning. Here you can see the deep meaning conveyed by the artist’s painting. The white and gray scale, numerous halftones and complex execution do not allow you to dryly enumerate the content of the painting. Here the artist emotionally conveys the literary image of the village and the villager of the time. It is the quiet tranquility, the winter sleep of nature, and this image is conveyed with the skill of the artist.
The landscape "In Winter" is a sample of Serov’s skill. Here one can appreciate the accuracy of conveying the wood of the barn, the forest visible in the distance, the drifts in the field, and the trampled and trampled snow on the road. It is striking how accurately the forest is portrayed, the quiet tranquility, for this is what the countryside looks like in winter.
Each element of the painting is made lightly, yet carries its own, semantic load. After the appearance of the painting, it has a great resonance among Russian artists, and has a strong influence on the development of landscape.
The landscape is made in Domotkanov. It was exhibited in 1899 in St. Petersburg with the title "In the village.
The picture is in the State Russian Museum.

Emerging from an opening in the structure is a horse-drawn sleigh. A lone figure is seated in the sleigh, bundled against the elements, their form largely indistinct. The horse, a dark silhouette against the pale snow, appears weary, its posture suggesting the strain of pulling the sleigh through the deep snow. The tracks left by the sleigh in the snow are visible, their yellowish-brown color indicating traces of mud or soil mixed with the snow and perhaps the residue of urine from the horse, adding a touch of raw realism to the scene.
The background dissolves into a hazy wintry expanse, with a distant treeline barely discernible against the overcast sky. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet solitude and hardship. The subdued color palette and the raw, unvarnished depiction of rural life in winter evoke a sense of resilience in the face of adversity. Theres a feeling of isolation, common in winter landscapes, that emphasizes the struggle for survival in a natural world that offers little comfort. The painting seems to capture a moment of quiet toil, a glimpse into the daily life of those who endured the harsh Russian winters, highlighting their stoicism and connection to the land.
