Картины на подрамнике Autumn day. Sokolniki

In this picture, Levitan depicted a man for the first and last time. The lonely fragile figure of a woman was not painted by Isaac Ilyich himself. In this he was helped by his friend, the brother of the writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, Nikolai Pavlovich Chekhov. The high cloudy bright sky almost closes at the horizon with a path strewn with fallen leaves. The forest is still dark and the grass is still green, but the young maples planted along the droshky are already shining with the autumn flame of yellow, orange and red leaves. The fragile female figure seems so lonely, so small in this endless air space framed by the mysterious dark wall of the forest. The woman is dressed in black, as if she is in mourning for the summer.
