Description

A multi-figure genre scene unfolds against the background of a rural landscape under a spacious, cloudy sky. In the center of the composition, a peasant woman in a blue sarafan, a brown zipun, and a blue headscarf is depicted holding a rearing white horse, harnessed to a wooden cart, by its bridle with a decisive movement. In the cart, a second woman in a red headscarf sits with her back to the viewer.
