Картины в рамке, багете By the end of summer on the Volga

The artist depicted an already harvested field. Haystacks have already been stacked, and birds in the field are pecking at what the peasants have not removed. A village is visible in the distance, and a mill stands nearby. The holiday season is over, which means that you can rest a little. We managed to harvest before the weather. And the fact that it will rain on the canvas is noticeable – the clouds are too stormy. August has generally been considered a harbinger of autumn since ancient times, although it is revered as a summer month. But if we recall the history, then it was in September that the New Year was celebrated, at least until 1699 it was so. And then August was just the autumn month. On the canvas, however, the main place is given to the sky. It is spelled out in detail. Clouds of different shades and the blue behind them. And three haystacks in the foreground show how well the harvesting campaign went, sheaves of hay lie on the stack. And a little to the side, Mother Volga, the nurse of Russia, is visible with its waters, which seem blue-gray closer to the shore, and blue in the distance.
